Stability and utility of pyridyl disulfide functionality in RAFT and conventional radical polymerizations

Abstract

Two RAFT agents, suitable for inducing living radical polymerization in water, have been synthesized. Both RAFT agents were shown to be effective over the temperature range 25–70 °C. One RAFT agent was functionalized with a pyridyl disulfide group. RAFT efficacy was demonstrated for the polymerizations of N‐isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAM) and poly(ethylene oxide)‐acrylate (PEG‐A) in both water and acetonitrile. The kinetic data indicates that the pyridyl disulfide functionality is largely benign in free radical polymerizations, remaining intact for subsequent reaction with thiol groups. This result was confirmed by studying conventional radical polymerizations in the presence of hydroxyethyl pyridyl disulfide. The utility of the pyridyl disulfide functionality at the terminus of the polymers was demonstrated by synthesizing polymer‐BSA conjugates. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.
