The inventive subject matter relates to novel synthetic processes which use a multifunctional compound (the “TERMINI compound”) having a masked or protected functional group, wherein the TERMINI compound is capable of quantitatively and irreversibly interrupting a living polymerization or a chain organic reaction. After deprotection or demasking of the functional group of the TERMINI compound, the same living polymerization or organic reaction resumes with 100% efficiency, or a different living polymerization or organic reaction resumes with 100% chemoselectivity, respectively. Once incorporated into a growing molecule, the TERMINI compound generates a branching point upon resumption of the polymerization or reaction.
本发明的主题涉及一种新的合成工艺,该工艺使用一种具有被掩蔽或保护的官能团的多功能化合物("TERMINI 化合物"),其中 TERMINI 化合物能够定量且不可逆地中断活聚合或链式有机反应。在对 TERMINI 化合物的官能团进行脱保护或去保护后,相同的活聚合反应或有机反应将分别以 100% 的效率恢复,或以 100% 的
化学选择性恢复不同的活聚合反应或有机反应。一旦与生长中的分子结合,TERMINI 化合物会在聚合或反应恢复时产生一个分支点。
