Gram-scale free radical polymerization of an azaborine vinyl monomer

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jun 29;53(53):7262-7265. doi: 10.1039/c7cc02300f.

Abstract

The gram-scale polymerization of a novel azaborine vinyl monomer is reported. We describe an efficient and high-yielding synthesis of B-vinyl-2,1-borazanaphthalene. Homopolymers and co-polymers with 2-vinylnaphthalene are characterized by heteronuclear NMR and absorbance spectroscopy.
