Click Chemistry Combined with Nitroxide-Mediated Radical and Cationic Ring Opening Polymerization: A Versatile Method for Preparation of Well –Defined Block Copolymers Saber Ibrahim and Brigitte Voit, Institute for Polymer Research Dresden, Germany Introduction The azide/alkyne-“click”-reaction has had enormous impact within the field of polymer science. By using click chemistry not only more, but also more complex molecules and materials can be approached. Well-defined diblock copolymers consisting of polystyrene (PS) and poly (2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMeOX) or polyethyleneimine (PEI) were prepared using the nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMRP) and Cationic Ring Opening Polymerization (CROP) methods respectively. The numberaverage molecular weight and fraction of each segment were precisely controllable by adjusting the monomer/initiator ratio in feed. N

Prepared Polymer and Copolymer Polystyrene prepared by nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization bearing a benzyl chloride on the α-terminus was converted to an azide by SN2 displacement. Piperazine was protected to afford its N-Boc derivatives. This reacted with propargyl bromide to obtain N-t-Boc propargylpiperazine, then Deprotected with trifluroacetic acid yielded propargyl piperazine. Poly2-methyl-2Oxazoline was created by cationic ring opening polymerization and terminated with propargylpiperazine. Block copolymer PS-bPMeOX was obtained by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between azide group in PS and alkyne group in PMeOX in present of Cu(I)-catalyzed. Polystyrene-bpolyethylenimine (PS-b-PEI) was synthesized by the hydrolysis of the obtained block copolymer PS-b-PMeOX in alkaline medium overnight. The synthesis of diblock copolymers by combining predefined polymeric fragments via click chemistry was proved. In this situation, the fragments could be completely linked with each other and diblock copolymers obtained exhibited a narrow molecular weight distribution.

Conclusion Poly(alkoxyamine) including PMeOX segments can be used as a macroinitiator for NMRP of styrene. The strategy described here is available for the preparation of a wide variety of well-defined block copolymer libraries to be readily prepared in the minimum number of steps under synthetically robust conditions, and is expected as to be a powerful systematic screening tool for the preparation of interesting phase separated functional polymeric materials with specific metal binding ability. • R.K.
