SynopsisEthyl 2-vinylcyclopropanecarboxylate derivatives (VCP) that underwent radical ring-opening polymerization were prepared from the corresponding diene and diazoacetate in the presence of copper-Schiff base complex as a catalyst. The polymerization behavior of the obtained monomers was investigated, and the reaction of VCP with thiophenol was also carried out as a model reaction of their polymerization.
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.
