The synthesis and ring-opening metathesis polymerization of highly-strained 3- and 1-butyl--cyclooctenes was investigated with the goal of quickly preparing regioregular polymers with narrow molar mass distributions, which could serve as precursors for high precision short-chain branched polyethylene. 3-butyl--cyclooctene was unable to be polymerized in a regioregular manner, however 1-butyl--cyclooctene did yield regioregular product, although the dispersities were higher than expected. Investigation by NMR provided evidence that the nature of the propagating alkylidene is likely non-uniform throughout the course of the reaction, leading to the broadened molar mass distribution.
研究了高张力3-丁基-和1-丁基-环辛烯的合成及开环易位聚合反应,目的是快速制备具有窄摩尔质量分布的区域规整聚合物,这些聚合物可作为高精度短链支化聚乙烯的前体。3-丁基-环辛烯无法以区域规整的方式聚合,然而1-丁基-环辛烯确实产生了区域规整产物,尽管分散度高于预期。核磁共振研究提供的证据表明,在整个反应过程中,增长的亚烷基的性质可能不均匀,导致摩尔质量分布变宽。
