Summary

Poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (polyMeOZO) macromers having a styryl group as polymerizable function have been prepared via two methods. The first one is to use an amine nucleophile having a styryl group to terminate the living cationic propagating species of MeOZO initiated by MeOTs (1), giving rise to a macromer (2) (“terminator method”). The second one is to induce the cationic ring-opening polymerization of MeOZO by an initiator of iodomethylstyrene to give a macromer (3)(“initiator method”). These macromers 2 and 3 can be used as a comonomer for the synthesis of copolymers with MeOZO graft chains.
