Decarboxylation of Poly[<i>N</i>‐(acryloyloxy)phthalimide] as a Versatile Tool for Postpolymerization Modification
Stefan Frech, Edgar Molle, Cornelius Hub, Patrick Théato
Abstract
Herein the decarboxylation of poly[N-(acryloyloxy)phthalimide] (PAP) for the synthesis of functionalized polymers is reported. PAP homopolymer and block copolymers are used as precursor polymers for the straightforward functionalization via decarboxylation and subsequent Michael-type addition or nitroxide radical coupling (NRC).
