Abstract
The allyl chloride and allyl bromide initiated atom transfer radical polymerization, ATRP, of styrene was conducted to afford α-allyl-ω-halopolystyrene with molecular weights predetermined by Δ[M]/[I]0 and with low polydispersities, Mw/Mn≍1.2 for allyl bromide and Mw/Mn≍1.3 for allyl chloride. The structure of the α-allyl-ω-halopolystyrene was confirmed by 1H NMR spectra. The halogen end-groups were transformed to azido group quantitatively with trimethylsilyl azide in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride.
