Branch-Controlled ATRP Via Sulfoxide Chemistry

A vinyl-containing macroinimer was prepared in situ by utilizing sulfoxide chemistry in an unprecedented manner and allowed for the one-pot synthesis of hyperbranched polymers. Sulfoxide-protected haloalkanes were prepared, and their transformation into vinyl-functionalized haloalkanes through sulfoxide elimination under various reaction conditions was investigated. The protected haloalkanes were employed as an initiator for supplemental...
