The capping of “living” poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and “living” polystyrene (PS), both prepared by the RAFT technique, with various olefins was screened using 19F-NMR spectroscopy. The capping of “living” PMMA with a labeled stilbene was as high as 63% and with certain cinnamate esters was essentially quantitative, but the capping of “living” polystyrene with all the olefins investigated was generally poor.

It has been found that diazomethane undergoes a facile 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition with both dithiobenzoate RAFT agents and the dithiobenzoate end‐groups of polymers formed by RAFT polymerization. Thus, 2‐cyanoprop‐2‐yl dithiobenzoate on treatment with diazomethane at room temperature provided a mixture of stereoisomeric 1,3‐dithiolanes in near quantitative (>95%) yield. A low‐molecular‐weight RAFT‐synthesized poly(methyl methacrylate) with dithiobenzoate end‐groups underwent similar reaction as indicated by immediate decolourization and a quantitative doubling of molecular weight. Higher‐molecular‐weight poly(methyl methacrylate)s were also rapidly decolourized by diazomethane and provided a product with a bimodal molecular weight distribution. Under similar conditions, the trithiocarbonate group does not react with diazomethane.

Poly(methyl methacrylate)s with high stereoregularity and clickable end-groups were synthesized via terminating reactions with α-(halomethyl)acrylates in stereospecific living anionic polymerization.
