A novelN-sulfonyl aziridine,N-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl)sulfonyl)-2-methyl-aziridine (SES-MeAz) was synthesized, and its controlled anionic ring-opening polymerization to form poly(SES-MeAz) studied. The desulfonylation of poly(SES-MeAz)s can be achieved under mild conditions, with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) to form polypropylene imine (PPI), although purification of the PPI was not completely successful. The block copolymer p(pTs-MeAz)-b-p(SES-MeAz), (pTs-MeAz =N-para-tosyl-2-methyl-aziridine) was prepared by a sequential polymerization. The desulfonylation of the block copolymer is the first example of the selective removal of a sulfonyl protecting group from a poly(sulfonylazirdine) block copolymer and this is the first formation of a polysufonylaziridine-block-polypropylene imine copolymer. Three-armed star-shaped poly(SES-MeAz)s were also successfully synthesized and exhibited improved solubility compared with linear poly(SES-MeAz)s.
