Benzoylformamide (BFA) derivatives are proposed as new photocaged bases with good solubility in epoxy resin. Initially their structures were confirmed by ¹HNMR, ¹³C NMR, and elemental analysis. Next, we detail their thermal stability, solubility behavior, and photolysis products. Furthermore, the model photo-latent anion polymerization (AP) of epoxide system in the presence of BFA-dBA (N,N-dibenzyl-2-oxo-2-phenylacetamide) as a photocaged base has been investigated, and excellent photopolymerization profile is obtained.
- Anion polymerization,
- Photocaged superbase,
