    Abstract:
    Anionic polymerization initiated by cyclodextrins suffers from a poor solubility of those derivatives in standard polymerization solvents. The possibility to perform ethylene oxide polymerization initiated by monofunctional initiators (allyl alcohol, 2-methoxyethanol) by living ring opening polymerization in DMF, a good solvent for any CD derivative, was demonstrated by SEC, (1)H and (13)C NMR analyses. The study was extended to the use of native CD as initiator, leading to the synthesis of ill-defined structures, explained by the reactivity scale of the various hydroxyl functions. Two selectively modified CD derivatives are then used to synthesize a new family of star-shaped poly(ethylene oxide) polymers with CD core, having 14 or 21 arms. The polymerization was found to be living and DOSY experiments confirmed the well-defined structures for the synthesized star-polymers.
