Decarboxylation of Poly[N-(acryloyloxy)phthalimide] as a Versatile Tool for Postpolymerization Modification

Stefan Frech et al. Macromol Rapid Commun. 2022 May.

Abstract

Herein the decarboxylation of poly[N-(acryloyloxy)phthalimide] (PAP) for the synthesis of functionalized polymers is reported. PAP homopolymer and block copolymers are used as precursor polymers for the straightforward functionalization via decarboxylation and subsequent Michael-type addition or nitroxide radical coupling (NRC).

Keywords: Michael-addition; decarboxylation; nitroxide radical coupling; photochemistry; postpolymerization modification.
