Abstract
Two ketone-bearing N-alkoxyamines have been prepared and evaluated as initiators in nitroxide-mediated polymerization. N-(1-Phenethyloxy)-5,5,8- trimethyl-7-phenyl-azanonan-2-one (1) forms polymers with excellent control of molecular weight and low polydispersities, whereas N-(l-phenethyloxy)-5,8- dimethyl-5,7-phenyl-azanonan-2-one (2) does not effect controlled polymerization at 125 °C. Polymers prepared from initiator 1 retain the ketone functionality on the nitroxide terminus. Near-quantitative functionalization is demonstrated via hydrazone formation.
