Stereoregular poly(2-phenylthiirane) < em > via < /em > cationic ring-opening polymerization

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 17. doi: 10.1039/d4cc01281j. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHerein, we describe an effective strategy for synthesizing polythioethers with a well-defined structure through the cationic polymerization of thiirane with electron-withdrawing substituents. This strategy allows for precisely controlling the regio- and stereochemistry of the ring-opening polymerization of 2-phenylthiirane, thus allowing for producing poly(2-phenylthiirane) with high stereoregularity using enantiomeric pure thiirane.PMID:38630292 | DOI:10.1039/d4cc01281j
