- Abstract:
- Living cationic ring-opening polymerizations
of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline and purification of the resulting
polymers were performed utilizing an automated
synthesizer. Eight polymers (500 mg scale) as well as 40
polymers (150 mg scale) were synthesized in parallel to
investigate the reproducibility and the living character of the
polymerizations. The poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)s obtained
such were characterized by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy,
MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and online gel permeation
chromatography.
