The synthesis of thiolactone monomers that mimic natural nucleosides and engage in robust ring opening polymerizations (ROP) is herein described. As each repeat unit contains a thioester functional group, dynamic rearrangement of the polymer is feasible via thiol-thioester exchange, demonstrated here by depolymerization of the polymers and coalescing of two polymers of different molecular weight or chemical composition. This approach constitutes the first step toward a platform that enables for the routine synthesis of sequence controlled polymers via dynamic template directed synthesis.
