Poly(N-tert-butylaziridine) (poly(TBA)) with hydroxy, amino, HO-C(O)-C
H=CH-C(O)-and -P(O)(OCH3)2 end-groups were synthesized via termination
reactions of living poly(TBA) with appropriate nucleophiles. 2-Aminoe
thanol, sodium 2-aminoethylate, maleic anhydride and dimethyl phosphon
ate were used. The functionally terminated oligomers were of uniform s
ize and with a functionality near one.
