Abstract

<p>In this work, we investigated the direct halogenation of growing species in living anionic polymerization of hydrocarbon monomers for subsequent mechanistic transformation and post-polymerization reactions. The direct halogenation of propagating living anionic species of isoprene (Ip) was examined with CCl4 in THF/methylcyclohexane at −78°C to form a carbon-halogen terminal. The mechanistic transformation from living anionic into radical polymerization was then investigated using the anionically-prepared poly(Ip) (PIp) bearing a chloride terminal as the macroinitiator for the living radical polymerization with the RuCp*Cl(PPh3)/Et3N initiating system in toluene at 80°C, which resulted in the formation of block copolymers of PIp with various radically-polymerized segments. Furthermore, the terminal halogen of the anionically-prepared PIp was also converted into an azide group by SN2 reaction, which could be employed for the click reaction with alkyne-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) by a Cu catalyst to form an amphiphilic block copolymer.</p>
