In this study, synthesis of poly (styrene)-b-poly (2-vinyl pyridine) four-arm star block copolymers ((PS-b-P2VP)(4) sBCPs) possessing high interaction parameter (chi) feature was investigated. To obtain well-defined sBCPs, a challenge on ATRP of pyridine-containing monomers is foreseeable. We thus scrutinized the domino effect from PS macminitiators (MIs) having different halogen chain ends (i.e., (PS-X)(4), where X = Br/Cl) to the subsequent chain extensions. As evident from the model reactions of benzyl halides (BzX, where X = Br/Cl) and 2-methylpyridine (2 MP), the combination of BzCl and 2 MP can significantly suppress the substitution side reaction. Consequently, well-defined (PS-b-P2VP)(4) sBCPs were obtained (M-n = ca. 58 k-82 k with PDI
