Xanthates as chain-transfer agents in controlled radical polymerization (MADIX): Structural effect of the O-alkyl group

Destarac M, Bzducha W, Taton D, Gauthier-Gillaizeau I, Zard SZ

The capability of three chain-transfer agents, O-alkyl-S-(1-ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl xanthates (CH3-CHCO2C2H5)S(C=S)OZ', to control the free-radical polymerization of styrene and ethyl acrylate by the MADIX process was examined. The reactivity of the xanthates varied according to the following trend: Z'=CH2CH3
