Abstract

Abstract : Biorenewable dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene™) is used as an effective dipolar aprotic solvent for Cu(0) wire-mediated RDRP of various monomers without external deoxygenation being applied. Abstract : Biorenewable dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene™) is used as an effective dipolar aprotic solvent for Cu(0) wire-mediated RDRP of various monomers without external deoxygenation being applied. The solvent is used to give products with a broad range of molar masses ( M n ∼ 700–28 000), in situ chain extension and as low as 7.8 × 10 −4 eq. of [Cu(ii )Br2 ] relative to initiator.
