Abstract
The present disclosure relates to rearranging an all-carbon backbone of a polymer to a nitrogen-containing backbone using an 2-aza-Cope rearrangement. Furthermore, these newly formed polymers with their nitrogen-containing backbones can be depolymerized into one or more non-polymeric nitrogen-containing molecules.
Claims17
A method for preparing a product polymer having a nitrogen-containing backbone, the method comprising:
- (a) obtaining a starting polymer, wherein the backbone of the starting polymer comprises at least one sigmatropomer repeat unit;
- and
- (b) inducing a 2-azo-Cope rearrangement of the sigmatropomer in the backbone of the starting polymer, thereby producing the product polymer.
