Use of a Trithioester Transfer Agent

This trithiocarbonate is expected to exhibit high chain transfer efficiency and good control over the RAFT because the living group corres- 

Finally, Convertine et al. [199] illustrated the use of S,S,-bis(o c/-dimclhyl-acetic acid)trithiocarbonate for the RAFT of both acrylamide and N,N- 

This first pathway using a trithioester transfer agent afforded functionality close to 2. However, the final oligomer contains a trithioester group in the middle of the chain that is highly labile. A further polycondensation, which requires high temperature, with such oligomers, obtained by this technique, seems not to be favored.
