TLDR
The pinacol ester derivatized (co)polymers were easily deprotected by a mild and convenient strategy to yield free boronic acid polymers.Abstract:
A facile route to well-defined boronic acid (co)polymers from stable and easily manipulated boronic ester monomers is presented. The polymerization of 4-pinacolatoborylstyrene by reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) yielded polymeric boronic acid precursors. Selection of stoichiometry allowed tuning of polymerization kinetics and targeting specific molecular weights in the range of Mn = 17000−32000 g/mol. The resulting low polydispersity poly(4-pinacolatoborylstyrene) homopolymers were employed as macro-chain transfer agents for block copolymerization with N,N-dimethylacrylamide to yield amphiphilic block copolymers that formed micelles in aqueous media. The pinacol ester derivatized (co)polymers were easily deprotected by a mild and convenient strategy to yield free boronic acid polymersread more

TL;DR: The authors proposed a reversible additive-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method for living free-radical polymerization, which can be used with a wide range of monomers and reaction conditions and in each case it provides controlled molecular weight polymers with very narrow polydispersities.
