Xanthate Mediated Living Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate: A Systematic Variation in MADIX/RAFT Agent Structure

Stenzel, Martina H., Cummins, Lyndal, Roberts, G. Evan, Davis, Thomas P., Vana, Philipp, Barner‐Kowollik, Christopher·2003·Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics

Abstract

Eight xanthates were synthesized to induce living free radical polymerization of vinyl acetate. Four compounds, methyl (4‐methoxyphenoxy)carbonothioylsulfanyl acetate, methyl (methoxycarbonothioyl)sulfanyl acetate, methyl (ethoxycarbonothioyl)sulfanyl acetate and methyl (isopropoxycarbonothioyl)sulfanyl acetate were identified as suitable MADIX/RAFT agents, yielding low polydispersity (PDI < 1.2) poly(vinyl acetate) of molecular weights exceeding 5 × 10 4 g · mol−1. All suitable MADIX/RAFT agents exhibited extended periods of inhibition (0.3 h < tinh < 10 h) and moderate rate retardation. The ability of these compounds to control vinyl acetate polymerization can be correlated with the electron density on the central carbon atom of the xanthate. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analysis was performed to complete the investigation on the new MADIX/RAFT agents. magnified image

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
