Reactivity of Poly(ethylene oxide) Macromonomers in Radical Copolymerization

Radical polymerization approach for ring opened oxanorbornene anhydride based macromonomers

In this work, we synthesized end group functionalization of the cis-Norbornene-5-6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride species via the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of oxanorbornene derivatives generated a chiseled poly(cis-Norbornene-5-6-endo-Dicarboxylic anhydride) acrylate macromonomer. Further, acrylate oxanorbornene based macromonomer further polymerized via reversible addition fra...

Copper mediated controlled radical copolymerization of styrene and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and determination of their reactivity ratios

Copolymerization is an important synthetic tool to prepare polymers with desirable combination of properties which are difficult to achieve from the different homopolymers concerned. This investigation reports the copolymerization of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA) and styrene using copper bromide (CuBr) as catalyst in combination with N,N,N',N″,N″- pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA) as ligand ...

5,6-Dihydropyrimidine Peroxyl Radical Reactivity in DNA

Nucleobase radicals are a major family of reactive species produced in DNA as a result of oxidative stress. Two such radicals, 5-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidin-6-yl radical (1) and 5,6-dihydrouridin-6-yl radical (5), were independently generated within chemically synthesized oligonucleotides from photochemical precursors. Neither nucleobase radical produces direct strand breaks or alkali-labile le...
