alpha -Amino, omega -carboxyl heterodifunctional poly(methyl methacrylate)
was prepared by a living anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate usin
g N,N'-diphenylethylenediamine monolithium amide and succinic anhydride as
an initiator and terminator, respectively. Its intramolecular cyclization w
as carried out to obtain a well-defined cyclic poly(methyl methacrylate).
