Thiol-ene Reaction

ai4c

Reaction [1]:

Example [2]:

Highlightsand Significance:

  1. The thiol-ene polymerization could be used for direct production of monolithic columns. [3]
  2.  The thiol‐ene reaction can be conducted in bulk and it is not sensitive to oxygen. [4]
  3. The thiol-ene reaction can make polymers with both rigidity and mechanical properties. [5]
