Abstract:We hereby report a new strategy to prepare sequence-defined
discrete
oligomers with uniform molecular weight through carbanionic addition
and coupling reactions using specific monomers possessing 1,1-diphenylethylene
(DPE) and tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy (TBS) moieties.
The strategy allows the molecular weight growth by iterative attaching
of the sec-butyllithium (s-BuLi)
activated monomer or dimer unit to the halomethyl end-group, released
from deprotection of TBS, of the proceeding oligomer starting from
a di… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
