Abstract
Copolymers of (tert-butoxycarbonyloxy)styrene (t-BOC-styrene) and (2-nitrobenzyl)styrene sulfonates were prepared to give hydrophobic, photosensitive materials. Exposure to ultraviolet light converted the pendant 2-nitrobenzyl sulfonate sters to sulfonic acid moieties, and this photogenerated acid catalysed the removal of the t-BOC groups on subsequent heating
