Herein, we present a new route to synthesize poly(2-oxazoline)s (POx) with coumarin moieties as pendant groups that can be crosslinked by irradiation to form hydrogels. The synthesis of a novel coumarin-containing 2-oxazoline monomer, 2-[(4-methyl-7-coumarinyloxy)methyl]oxazoline is described in four steps and further its subsequent homo- and copolymerization with 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx) via cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP). The received polymers with different coumarin content (8, 4 and 2 mol%) were compared with a known copolymer synthesized via postpolymerization modification of partially hydrolyzed poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx) with a coumarin derivative. The the... |
