In this work we report the synthesis of thermo-, oxidation- and cyclodextrin- (CD) responsive end-group-functionalized polymers, based on N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEAAm). In a classical free-radical chain transfer polymerization, using thiol-functionalized 4-alkylphenols, namely 3-(4-(1,1-dimethylethan-1-yl)phenoxy)propane-1-thiol and 3-(4-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)phenoxy)propane-1-thiol, poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEAAm) with well-defined hydrophobic end-groups is obtained. These end-group-functionalized polymers show different cloud point values, depending on the degree of polymerization and the presence of randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin (RAMEB-CD). Additionally, the influence of the oxidation of the incorporated thioether linkages on the cloud point is investigated. The resulting hydrophilic sulfoxides show higher cloud point values for the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). A high degree of functionalization is supported by 1H NMR-, SEC-, FTIR- and MALDI–TOF measurements.

Butadiene was dimerized by using acetyl peroxide as source of free radicals and chloroform as solvent and chain-transfer agent. The dimers were identified and their structures were determined by means of ozonolysis and oxidative hydrolysis. It was established that two dimers were produced in nearly equal amount. One dimer was formed only by 1,4-additions, the other only by 1,2-additions. This result implies that polybutadienes may be mixtures of two varieties: one variety resulting from 1,4-additions, the other from 1,2-additions.
