Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of functional poly(p-phenylene)s from substituted hydroquinones via nickel-catalyzed coupling of their bistriflates
TL;DR: In this article, the Ni(0)-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of bis[trifluoromethyl]sulfonyl)oxy derivatives of substituted hydroquinones was compared with the synthesis of the same polymers by coupling of the corresponding benzene derivatives having two bromine or chlorine leaving groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aryl Mesylates in Metal-Catalyzed Homocoupling and Cross-Coupling Reactions. 3. A Simple and General Method for the Synthesis of 2,2'-Diaroyl-4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyls
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional polymers and sequential copolymers by phase transfer catalysis
TL;DR: In this paper, two new synthetic methods for the preparation of functional polymers containing 2-oxazoline pendant groups are presented, one of which is based on phase transfer catalyzed etherification of 2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxozoline with a mixture of m- and p-chloromethylstyrene.
Journal ArticleDOI
SET-LRP of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate in protic and dipolar aprotic solvents
Xuefei Leng,Nga H. Nguyen,Bart van Beusekom,Bart van Beusekom,Daniela A. Wilson,Daniela A. Wilson,Virgil Percec +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a single-electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) was performed in the presence of the tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (Me6-TREN) ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidating the Structure of the Pm$\bar 3$n Cubic Phase of Supramolecular Dendrimers through the Modification of their Aliphatic to Aromatic Volume Ratio
Virgil Percec,Mihai Peterca,Yusuke Tsuda,Brad M. Rosen,Satoshi Uchida,Mohammad R. Imam,Goran Ungar,Paul A. Heiney +7 more
TL;DR: The synthesis, and structural and retrostructural analysis of a library of second-generation conical dendrons that self-assemble into spherical supramolecular dendrimers demonstrated that the volume of the aromatic core of the spherical d endrimers is not dependent on the number of carbon atoms from their alkyl groups.
