Propagylic halide type compounds such as propagyl bromide, 1,4-dibromo-2-butyne, and 1,6-dibromo-2,4-hexadiyne, were used for the polymerization of 2-oxazolines. The polymerization initiated by these initiators gave polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution. From kinetic study, the polymerization using these initiators is found to be a relatively fast initiation system.
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.
