Toward the synthesis of sequence-controlled vinyl copolymers.
An ATRA based strategy to synthesize vinyl copolymers with monomer-level sequence control is proposed. In each cycle, one allyl alcohol is added to the ATRP chain end, and then the hydroxymethyl residue is oxidized to carboxylic acid and a side group is introduced via esterification, making the new chain end active for the next cycle.
