Fig. 3: Synthesis of P1 to P36 from diols, cyclic thioanhydride, and diacrylates.
From: Precise placement of thioester bonds into sequence-controlled polymers containing ABAC-type units

Polymerization conditions: at 90 °C, using DBU as a catalyst, for 12 h, [diol]0:[diacrylate]0:[thioanhydride]0:[DBU] = 50:50:100:1. Mw and Đ values are determined by GPC in THF, calibrated with polystyrene standards.
