A new ATRP initiator, viz, 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl-(methyl-2-bromo-2-methylpropanoate) (ODMBMP) was synthesized by the reaction of commercially available glycerol carbonate with 2-bromoisobutyrylbromide and was used to carry out ATRP reactions of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of copper chloride/N,N′,N′,N″N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine to afford low molecular weight (MnGPC = 1750–7550) cyclic carbonate-terminated poly(methyl methacrylate)s with relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn = 1.16–1.30). Poly(methyl methacrylate)s having higher molecular weight (MnGPC = 18,250 and 44,130) could also be synthesized using ODMBMP as the ATRP initiator. The kinetic studies of bulk ATRP of MMA showed a linear relationships between both ln[M]o/[Mt] vs time and molecular weight vs conversion indicating controlled/living polymerization. The presence of cyclic carbonate functionality in poly(methyl methacrylate)s was confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The reactivity of cyclic carbonate group was demonstrated by a model reaction using n-propyl amine and the results showed quantitative conversion to hydroxyl urethane group.
