About the activity and selectivity of less well-known metathesis catalysts during ADMET polymerizations

We report on the catalytic activity of commercially available Ru-indenylidene and "boomerang" complexes C1, C2 and C3 in acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of a fully renewable α,ω-diene. A high activity of these catalysts was observed for the synthesis of the desired renewabl...

Zusammenfassung:We report on the catalytic activity of commercially available Ru-indenylidene and "boomerang" complexes C1, C2 and C3 in acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of a fully renewable α,ω-diene. A high activity of these catalysts was observed for the synthesis of the desired renewable polyesters with molecular weights of up to 17000 Da, which is considerably higher than molecular weights obtained using the same monomer with previously studied catalysts. Moreover, olefin isomerization side reactions that occur during the ADMET polymerizations were studied in detail. The isomerization reactions were investigated by degradation of the prepared polyesters via transesterification with methanol, yielding diesters. These diesters, representing the repeat units of the polyesters, were then quantified by GC-MS.
