title: Controlled positioning of activated ester moieties on well-defined linear polymer chains.
abstract: The successful sequence-controlled installation of an activated ester using a newly designed monomer pentafluorophenyl 4-maleimidobenzoate is demonstrated. Pentafluorophenyl 4-maleimidobenzoate is kinetically installed at different stages of a nitroxide-mediated polymerization, namely, near the α-chain end and in the middle of a PS chain. In addition, successful installation of apolar and polar functional groups is achieved via post-polymerization functionalization, which demonstrated the versatility of the synthesis of a universal precursor for locally functionalized polymers.
