Turning Readily Available Acrylates into Cyclic Xanthates for Radical Ring-Opening Polymerizations

Abstract Cyclic sulfur-containing monomers represent a promising class of comonomers for radical ring-opening polymerization, but only a limited number of examples have been reported to date. Here, the cyclic xanthate tert-butyl 2-thioxo-1,3-oxathiolane-5-carboxylate (Oxa) was sy...
