On page 1069, Bibiao Jiang and colleagues present a one‐step synthesis of styrenic macromonomers (MMs) with a well‐defined structure and controlled molecular weights. Phosphazene base ( t ‐BuP 4 ) and N ‐butyl‐4‐vinylbenzamide containing a styrenic double bond were used as the organocatalyst and the initiator, respectively. This one‐step approach demonstrates simple metal‐free access to the controlled synthesis of MMs, concluding that the prepared MMs can polymerize efficiently to convert into graft copolymers.
