Abstract
Cyclopentene monomers and methods of polymerization, including the polymerization of the cyclopentene monomers. The cyclopentene monomers include allylic substituted cyclopentene monomers that may be racemic or enantiopure. The methods of polymerization may permit the resulting polymers to have one or more desirable structural features.
Claims20
A method of polymerization, the method comprising:
- contacting an allylic substituted cyclopentene with a catalyst to form a homopolymer;
- wherein the allylic substituted cyclopentene has a structure according to at least one of Formula I and Formula II—
- wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from hydrogen or a C1-C30 hydrocarbyl.
A monomer comprising:
- an allylic substituted cyclopentene having a structure according to at least one of Formula I and Formula II—
- wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from hydrogen and a C1-C30 hydrocarbyl, with the proviso that 3-t-butyldimethylsilyloxycyclopentene is excluded.
