Expanding the scope of N-heterocyclic carbene-organocatalyzed ring-opening polymerization of N-tosyl aziridines using functional and non-activated amine initiators

摘要

Graphical abstractDisplay OmittedHighlights?Polaziridines are synthesized by NHC-organocatalyzed ring-opening polymerization.?Initiators include an allyl-functionalizedN-activated amine,n-Bu2NH, and N3SiMe3.?Control over molar masses, dispersity and chain-ends is achieved.?Polyaziridines with allyl and azido function are derivatized by “click chemistry”.?This provides novel possibilities for engineering polyaziridines in a simple way.Abstract
