title: Novel trifunctional building blocks for fluorescent polymers.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Herein, we describe the synthesis of fluorescent 2-(arylsulfonyl)methacrylates and its polymers. These novel trifunctional monomers, possessing a fluorescent arylsulfonyl (ArSO(2)) group, an alkyl group (R), and a polymerizable olefin, serve as useful building blocks for functionalized fluorescent polymers.
