Anionic living polymerization of functional monomers. Precise synthesis of various functionalized polystyrenes with monosaccharide residues by anionic living polymerization and living functionalization reaction

摘要

Precise syntheses of monosaccharide-functionalized polystyrenes with various molecular architectures are described. The polymers synthesized here are well-defined monosaccharide-functionalized polystyrenes, block copolymers, and polystyrenes functionalized with one or more (up to four) glucose residues at the chain ends and in chains which are synthesized by anionic living polymerization of styrenes substituted with acetal-protected monosaccharides and living functionalization reaction using a 1,1-diphenylethene substituted with two acetal-protected glucofuranoses.
