Application

α-Bromophenylacetic acid can be used as a reactant to prepare:
  • Polymandelide by reacting with triethylamine.
  • α-Mercaptophenylacetic acid by treating with sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH·H2O).
  • β-Lactams by reacting with imines in the presence of triphenylphosphine as a mediator.

Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has become an effective strategy to synthesize high solid content polymeric nanoparticles with various morphologies in situ. In this work, one-step PISA was achieved by in situ photocontrolled bromine-iodine transformation reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (hereinafter referred to as
