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