title: Ping-pong polymerization by allylation and hydroformylation for alternating vinyl alcohol-vinyl monomer copolymers.
abstract: Inspired by the enzymatic ping-pong mechanism, we designed a novel "ping-pong polymerization", which employs allylation and hydroformylation in an iterative and alternating manner. Thus, alternating and regioregular vinyl alcohol-vinyl monomer copolymers possessing multiple hydroxy groups in a periodical manner were successfully synthesized.
