Photoinduced SET to access olefin-acrylate copolymers
John B. Garrison, Rhys W. Hughes, James B. Young, Brent S. Sumerlin
Abstract
Single-electron transfer (SET)-induced decarboxylative backbone radical generation was exploited to produce statistical olefin-acrylate copolymers. Quenching of the backbone radical with an H atom donor yielded ethylene or propylene repeat units.
