Polymerization with the Cu(i)-catalyzed Doyle–Kirmse reaction of bis(allyl sulfides) and bis(α-diazoesters)

Abstract

The Doyle–Kirmse reaction of α-diazoester and allyl sulfide has been developed into a polymerization process for the first time, affording a series of unique sulfur-containing polymers with molecular weights up to 23.7 kDa in good yields.
