Graphical Abstract

A benzoxazine bearing thiol moiety 1 was synthesized from its precursor, a bifunctional benzoxazine bearing disulfide linkage, through selective reduction of the disulfide. The thiol moiety thus formed readily reacted with glycidyl phenyl ether to give the corresponding benzoxazine 3a, which exhibited much higher polymerization ability than some referential monomers without sulfide moiety.
