A strategy for sequence control in vinyl polymers via iterative controlled radical cyclization

The ultimate control in polymer synthesis, precise monomer sequencing, is a highly sought after but complex problem. Here, the authors employ a repetitive and iterative intramolecular cyclization reaction, via a radical intermediate, to generate sequence-controlled vinyl oligomers.
