Thiolactones are often described as latent thiols. They can be ring-opened by hydroxy or amine groups releasing thiols, which can further react with a large variety of functional groups. Based...
For the first time, the ring-opening copolymerization of γ-thiobutyrolactone and ethylene carbonate was investigated using benzyl alcohol–phosphazene bases as initiating systems. Full conversions of both monomers were obtained when the...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
