Intermolecular radical 1,2-addition of the BlocBuilder MA alkoxyamine onto activated olefins: a versatile tool for the synthesis of complex macromolecular architecture

Abstract

This review described the potential of the intermolecular radical 1,2-addition from the commercially available BlocBuilder MA alkoxyamine onto activated olefins to synthesize either new functionalized alkoxyamines or various macromolecular architectures. Following this approach, diblock, triblock copolymers, star polymers and hybrid materials are then easily prepared. The various applications of such architectures will be briefly reviewed. Interestingly this new synthetic tool widely expands the range of complex macromolecular architectures which could be obtained by the nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) process.
