[35] The living nature of this process allows control of the chain length and the preparation of block copolymers, which may also have a high level of tacticity. [37] A Wittig-like capping reaction with aldehydes can be used to cleave the metal fragment off the living polymer. Essentially monodisperse products 22 with x up to 500 have been obtained from norbornene by using di-tert-butoxo[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imido](2,2-dimethylpropylidene)tungsten(VI) as a ROMP initiator. [38] The catalyst does not attack the less reactive double bonds in the polymeric product. The use of 7,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)tricyclo[4.2.2.0 2,5 ]deca-3,7,9-triene as monomer gives oligomers from which polyenes with up to 15 conjugated double bonds have been obtained via a retro-Diels–Alder ejection of an arene upon thermolysis. [39] Other substrates suitable for the ROMP process are substituted cyclooctatetraenes, leading to functionalized and soluble polyacetylenes of low polydispersities.

The polymerization was quenched by addition of pivalaldehyde (25 ìL). After 20 min, the soln was added to hexane (250 mL), and the precipitated polymer was isolated by centrifugation, washed with hexane, and placed under vacuum overnight; yield: 280 mg (94%). 2.6.1.5.2 Variation 2: Alkyne Polymerization Terminal alkynes have yielded polyenes 23 with up to 150 conjugated double bonds under molybdenum–carbene catalysis (Scheme 10). [42] The nature (in particular the size) of the ancillary ligands is important in controlling the selective Æ-addition. Acetylene itself produces insoluble and air-sensitive polymers that are difficult to characterize. Cyclopolymerization of dipropargyl derivatives such as 24 have been shown to yield polyenes of low polydispersity containing only six-membered rings, following a selective â-addition

[43] The nature of the coordination sphere on the carbene initiator is of capital importance, as polymers containing both five- and six-membered rings that are a consequence of an initial Æ- orâ-addition, respectively, have been obtained with other initiators.

To the catalyst stock soln (3.007 mL), toluene (3 mL) was added and the monomer stock soln (1.0 mL) was squirted in. Within 30 s the mixture turned deep red. After 6 h, benzaldehyde (16 ìL) was added. After stirring for a further 3 h, the soln was concentrated in vacuo to about 1.5 mL. The polymer was precipitated in pentane (60 mL), collected on a frit, and dried in vacuo to yield a red, powdery material. All operations were carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere and the polymers were only briefly exposed to air for sample preparation for GC analysis; yield: 90 mg (91%); 13 C{ 1 H} NMR (CDCl 3, ä): 170.7 (CO 2Et), 54.5 (C quaternary). 2.6.1.5.3 Variation 3: Ring-Closing Metathesis Ring-closing metathesis (Scheme 11) affords cyclic products 25 in competition with intermolecular metathesis processes to form polymeric materials. [45] The reaction is also complicated by the possibility of ROMP (Section 2.6.1.5.1). Which products are obtained is the result of an interplay of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. Entropy (the generation of two molecules from one) and evaporative subtraction of the volatile acyclic alkene from solution provide the necessary driving force for the desired cyclization. The ringclosing metathesis procedure can be applied to the construction of macrocyclic natural products, although mixtures of E- and Z-isomers are often obtained in these cases (see also Section 2.6.2.7). [46] The most widely used group 6 catalyst for this process is 26, although ruthenium-based catalysts are generally preferred owing to their greater func- for references see p 135
