Abstract:We synthesized a novel bivalent monomer 1 bearing 4‐vinylbenzyl group and five‐membered cyclic dithiocarbonate. This monomer 1 was polymerized orthogonally by free radical polymerization to afford polystyrene 1a bearing a five‐membered cyclic dithiocarbonate moiety in the side chain. On the other hand, cationic ring‐opening polymerization of five‐membered cyclic dithiocarbonate in the monomer 1 successfully proceeded, resulting in a narrow molecular weight distribution of polydithiocarbonate 1b bearing a 4‐vin… Show more
