An efficient approach toward well-defined macromonomers

What is it about?

Using very simple modified Al complexes (containing the fragment of unsaturated alkohol) as initiators of ROP of lactones gives opportunity to synthesize macromonomers. Macromonomers are polymeric compounds which have at the end of the molecule a group suitable for further polymerization in another way (for example, radical polymerization).

This an almost new synthetic strategy to obtain unique polymeric materials with useful properties.
