Unsymmetrical difunctionalization of cyclooctadiene under continuous flow conditions: expanding the scope of ring opening metathesis polymerization.

ABSTRACT: Functionalized cyclooctenes (FCOEs) are important monomers in ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Herein, a new library of disubstituted FCOEs bearing adjacent heteroatoms were synthesized and applied in ROMP. To address the issues associated with the handling of the reactive thienyl chloride intermediate, a two-step continuous flow method has been developed to prepare 5-thio-6-chlorocyclooctene compounds from abundant cyclooctadiene starting materials. These newly synthesized FCOE monomers were subsequently polymerized through ROMP, giving rise to a range of functionalized polymers with high molecular weights. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the thermal properties of these polymers could be fine-tuned by changing the functional groups in the FCOE monomers. We expect that this functionalization-polymerization strategy will enable the preparation of a range of polymeric materials with complex structures.

An efficient approach to surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclooctadiene.

Project description:Surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclooctadiene (COD), a low ring-strain olefin, is reported for the first time. Polymerization was carried out in the vapor phase, which is advantageous compared to conventional solution methods in terms of minimizing chain transfer by reducing polymer chain mobility at the vapor/solid interface. Attachments of a norbornenyl-containing silane and a Grubbs catalyst to silicon substrates were carried out before samples were exposed to COD vapor. The thickness of grafted 1,4-polybutadiene films was controlled by reaction time and reached approximately 40 nm after 7 h. The polymer films were further chemically modified to afford a new polymer, head-to-head poly(vinyl alcohol).

Scope of the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) reaction of 1-substituted cyclobutenes.

Project description:The reactivities of a series of 1-substituted cyclobutene derivatives (carboxylate esters, carboxamides, and carbinol esters) were investigated as substrates for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) with [(H(2)IMes)(3-Br-pyridine)(2)(Cl)(2)Ru=CHPh]. Both the secondary amides of 1-cyclobutenecarboxylic acid and the esters of 1-cyclobutene-1-methanol undergo polymerization. The secondary amides provide translationally invariant polymers (E-olefins). Although the carbinol esters yield stereo- and regiochemically heterogeneous polymers, the 1-cyclobutenecarboxylic acid esters and tertiary amides undergo ring-opening metathesis (ROM) but not ROMP. The regio- and stereochemical outcomes of these ROMP and ROM reactions were analyzed at the B3LYP/6-31G* and LANL2DZ levels of theory. Calculations suggest that the regiochemistry and stereochemistry of the addition to the propagating carbene to form the metallocyclobutane intermediate depend on both charge distribution and steric interactions.

Selective ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclobutenes. Unsymmetrical ladderphane containing polycyclobutene and polynorbornene strands.

Project description:At 0 °C in THF in the presence of Grubbs first generation catalyst, cyclobutene derivatives undergo ROMP readily, whereas norbornene derivatives remain intact. When the substrate contains both cyclobutene and norbornene moieties, the conditions using THF as the solvent at 0 °C offer a useful protocol for the selective ROMP of cyclobutene to give norbornene-appended polycyclobutene. Unsymmetrical ladderphane having polycyclobutene and polynorbornene as two strands is obtained by further ROMP of the norbornene appended polycyclobutene in the presence of Grubbs first generation catalyst in DCM at ambient temperature. Methanolysis of this unsymmetrical ladderphane gives polycyclobutene methyl ester and insoluble polynorbornene-amide-alcohol. The latter is converted into the corresponding soluble acetate. Both polymers are well characterized by spectroscopic means. No norbornene moiety is found to be incorporated into polycyclobutene strand at all. The double bonds in the polycyclobutene strand are mainly in cis configuration (ca 70%), whereas the E/Z ratio for polynorbornene strand is 8:1.

Expanding the materials space of DNA via organic-phase ring-opening metathesis polymerization.

Project description:Herein, we develop a facile route to bring DNA to the organic phase, which greatly expands the types of structures accessible using DNA macromonomers. Phosphotriester- and exocyclic amine-protected DNA was synthesized and further modified with a norbornene moiety, which enables homopolymerization via ring-opening metathesis to produce brush-type DNA graft polymers in high yields. Subsequent deprotection cleanly reveals the natural phosphodiester DNA. The method not only achieves high molecular weight DNA graft polymers but when carried out at low monomer:catalyst ratios, yields oligomers that can be further fractionated to molecularly pure, monodisperse entities with one through ten DNA strands per molecule. In addition, we demonstrate substantial simplification in the preparation of traditionally difficult DNA-containing structures, such as DNA/poly(ethylene glycol) diblock graft copolymers and DNA amphiphiles. We envision that the marriage of oligonucleotides with the vast range of organic-phase polymerizations will result in many new classes of materials with yet unknown properties.

Access to Bicyclo[4.2.0]octene Monomers To Explore the Scope of Alternating Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization.

Project description:Bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-1(8)-ene-8-carboxamides undergo alternating ring-opening metathesis polymerization (AROMP) with cyclohexene. Herein, a general method for the preparation of bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-(8)-ene-8-carboxy derivatives is described. The central 8-cyano intermediate provides entry to five different functional group substituents on the alkene. These monomers were tested as potential substrates for AROMP with cyclohexene. In addition to the carboxamide, the carboxynitrile and carboxaldehyde are also substrates for AROMP. In the case of the carboxaldehyde, the polymer is regioregular. However, the addition of carboxynitrile is stereoirregular and slow.

Practical Route for Catalytic Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization.

Project description:Norbornene derivatives are typical monomers for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) for synthesizing highly functional polymers. However, the lack of catalytic methods, that is, the lack of readily available chain transfer agents (CTAs) for these monomers has been a significant cost limitation when large-scale syntheses are required. Here, we report commercially available styrene and its derivatives as efficient regioselective CTAs for the catalytic synthesis of metathesis polymers requiring up to 1000 times less ruthenium than in classical ROMP experiments. The molecular weight of the synthesized polymers was controlled by the monomer-to-CTA ratio. Low molecular weight ROMP polymers known for their antimicrobial properties were also synthesized on a gram scale in this report. Polymers were characterized by SEC, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and isotopically resolved MALDI-TOF MS. This approach describes a greener, more cost-effective, and eco-friendly methodology for the preparation of metathesis-based materials on the multigram scale.

Resonance promoted ring-opening metathesis polymerization of twisted amides.

Project description:The living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of an unsaturated twisted amide using the third-generation Grubbs initiator is described. Unlike prior examples of ROMP monomers that rely on angular or steric strain for propagation, this system is driven by resonance destabilization of the amide that arises from geometric constraints of the bicyclic framework. Upon ring-opening, the amide can rotate and rehybridize to give a stabilized and planar conjugated system that promotes living propagation. The absence of other strain elements in the twisted amide is supported by the inability of a carbon analogue of the monomer to polymerize and computational studies that find resonance destabilization accounts for 11.3 kcal mol-1 of the overall 12.0 kcal mol-1 ring strain. The twisted amide polymerization is capable of preparing high molecular weight polymers rapidly at room temperature, and post-polymerization modification combined with 2D NMR spectroscopy confirms a regioirregular polymer microstructure.

Cis-selective ring-opening metathesis polymerization with ruthenium catalysts.

Project description:Cis-selective ring-opening metathesis polymerization of several monocyclic alkenes as well as norbornene and oxanorbornene-type monomers using a C-H activated, ruthenium-based metathesis catalyst is reported. The cis content of the isolated polymers depended heavily on the monomer structure and temperature. A cis content as high as 96% could be obtained by lowering the temperature of the polymerization.

Two-Dimensional Controlled Syntheses of Polypeptide Molecular Brushes via N-Carboxyanhydride Ring-Opening Polymerization and Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization.

Project description:Well-defined molecular brushes bearing polypeptides as side chains were prepared by a "grafting through" synthetic strategy with two-dimensional control over the brush molecular architectures. By integrating N-carboxyanhydride ring-opening polymerizations (NCA ROPs) and ring-opening metathesis polymerizations (ROMPs), desirable segment lengths of polypeptide side chains and polynorbornene brush backbones were independently constructed in controlled manners. The N2 flow accelerated NCA ROP was utilized to prepare polypeptide macromonomers with different lengths initiated from a norbornene-based primary amine, and those macromonomers were then polymerized via ROMP. It was found that a mixture of dichloromethane and an ionic liquid were required as the solvent system to allow for construction of molecular brush polymers having densely-grafted peptide chains emanating from a polynorbornene backbone, poly(norbornene-graft-poly(?-benzyl-l-aspartate)) (P(NB-g-PBLA)). Highly efficient postpolymerization modification was achieved by aminolysis of PBLA side chains for facile installment of functional moieties onto the molecular brushes.

Dewar Heterocycles as Versatile Monomers for Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization.

Project description:We report the utility of readily available heterocycles as precursors to unique ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) monomers. Photochemical valence isomerization reactions of pyridones, dihydropyridines, and pyrones dearomatize the parent heterocycles to their highly strained Dewar isomers, which readily engage in controlled ROMP reactions using Grubbs catalysts. This strategy is used to access polymer backbones that contain strained β-lactam and azetidine cores, which can be further derivatized using post-polymerization chemistries. We demonstrate this through the synthesis of water-soluble β-amino acid polymers that have potential applications as biomedical materials, along with the synthesis of highly-soluble poly(acetylene) derivatives, which have potential applications as organic conductive materials derived from bio-feedstock chemicals.
