2-Phenyl-2-propyl benzodithioate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

RAFT agent for controlled radical polymerization; especially suited for the polymerization of methacrylates/methacrylamides, and to a lesser extent acrylates/acrylamides and styrenes; Chain Transfer Agent (CTA)

Application

2-Phenyl-2-propylbenzodithioate is an important organic intermediate to synthetize reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymers. RAFT polymerization has along with other equally important living free radical techniques revolutionized free radical polymerization, as it allows for the generation of complex macromolecular architectures such as comb, star, and block copolymers with narrow polydispersities. RAFT polymerization is increasingly finding applications for generating novel structures and materials in bioengineering and nanotechnology applications.
