Photolysis of an alkoxyamine using intramolecular energy transfer from a quinoline antenna--towards photo-induced living radical polymerization.
The photolysis of an alkoxyamine triad comprised of the 1-phenylethyl moiety, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy (TEMPO) and 2-methyl-3-hydroxy quinoline leads to energy transfer from the quinoline moiety (antenna) and cleavage of the C-O alkoxyamine bond, suggesting its possible applications in low temperature living free radical polymerization.
