Wood, Murray R. published the artcileSelective one-pot synthesis of trithiocarbonates, xanthates, and dithiocarbamates for use in RAFT/MADIX living radical polymerizations, Application of Ethyl 2-mercaptopropanoate, the publication is Organic Letters (2006), 8(4), 553-556, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
A facile route is developed for the production of chain transfer agents for reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and macromol. design via the interchange of xanthates (MADIX) polymerizations, via a one-pot reaction. 1,1′-Thiocarbonyl diimidazole (TCDI) undergoes controlled monosubstitution when reacted with secondary thiols or alcs. The intermediate S/O-esters of imidazole-N-thionocarboxylic acid react efficiently with a range of primary thiols, alcs., and amines to form asym. dithiocarbonates, trithiocarbonates, and dithiocarbamates, resp. The synthesis provides a facile approach to the controlled radical polymerization of vinyl monomers through the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mechanism.
