Abstract

Examination of novel alkoxyamines has demonstrated the pivotal role that the nitroxide plays in mediating the “living” or controlled polymerization of a wide range of vinyl monomers. Surveying a variety of different alkoxyamine structures led to α-hydrido derivatives based on a 2, 2, 5-trimethyl-4-phenyl-3-azahexane-3-oxy, 1, skeleton which were able to control the polymerization of styrene, acrylate, acrylamide, and acrylonitrile ...
