Abstract:
1. A living radical polymerization method, comprising: a step of halogenating an alcohol compound, wherein the atom bound to the hydroxyl group in the alcohol compound is carbon, with a halogenating agent capable of halogenating hydrogen of a hydroxyl group of an alcohol to produce a halogenated derivative compound wherein the hydrogen in the hydroxyl group is substituted with a halogen, wherein the atom bound to the hydroxyl group of the alcohol compound has a non-conjugated structure, and a step of conducting living radical polymerization of a monomer having a radical-reactive unsaturated bond using the halogenated derivative compound as a dormant species for the living radical polymerization, wherein a radical produced by elimination of a halogen from the halogenated derivative compound is allowed to react with the unsaturated bond of the monomer, wherein the halogenating agent has a structure of the following formula 4, wherein X is a halogen, R the halogenating agent acts also as a catalyst for living radical polymerization.
