Towards a Living Radical Polymerization of Styrene by Using Dithiolactone as a New Type of Mediating Agent

Abstract: In this communication, γ‐phenyl‐γ‐butyrodithiolactone (DTL1) is presented as the first example of a new type of control agent. The styrene polymerization carried out at 60 °C in the presence of DTL1 exhibits living characteristics, without consuming DTL1 during the process. This unprecedented behavior was explained by a mechanism based on the reversible formation of a persistent radical adduct between the DTL1 and the polystyrene macroradicals.magnified image

“…[82] The thiolactone 19 was proposed to control the polymerization of St by a similar addition-fragmentation process (Scheme 2). [83] The mechanism as shown seems unlikely since, for control, most of the propagating species would need to be present as the dormant species 21. ESR experiments showed that [65] (Continued) A Published values of transfer constants that are based on a model that does not allow for partitioning of the intermediate radicals and/or the reversibility of chain transfer are considered as apparent transfer constants (see text).…”
