Fe(0) powder-catalyzed one-pot reaction was successfully employed to design linear and star polymers in a well-controlled manner by combining ambient temperature living radical polymerization and click chemistry.
The acrylate based gradient copolymers were successfully synthesized by concurrent tandem living radical polymerization using Al(acac)3 as cocatalyst with common alcohols.
One-pot synthesis for gradient copolymers via concurrent tandem living radical polymerization: mild and selective transesterification of methyl acrylate through Al(acac)3 with common alcohols
