4,4'-Azobis(4-cyano-1-pentanol)

Uses

The hydroxyl-terminated poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) can be synthesized by degenerative iodine transfer polymerization (DITP) of the n-butyl acrylate (n-BA) using 4,4'-Azobis(4-cyano-1-pentanol) (ACPO) and diiodoxylene (DIX) as initiator and chain transfer agent, respectively, and subsequently substituted reaction of the iodine-terminated PBA with β-mercaptoethanol in alkaline condition^[1].
