The first synthesis of a transition metal-catalyzed homopolymer having pendent t-boc-protected quinizarin for patterned fluorescence images

A homopolymer having pendent t-Boc-protected quinizarin moieties has been prepared for patterned fluorescence images. The homopolymer P{t-BQN (2-norbornenylmethyl di-tert-butoxycarbonylquinizarin)} 5 was prepared by palladium-catalyzed addition polymerization. The t-Boc-protecting groups of the polymer were efficiently removed during chemical amplification process and revealed original properties of quinizarin, allowing patterned fluorescence images in the polymer film.
