Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization of Norbornene‐Based Monomers Obtained via the Passerini Three Component Reaction

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization is a robust method to synthesize variety of polymers by using ring-strained molecules as monomers, e.g., norbornenes. However, the synthesis monomers with multiple functional groups remains challenge, albeit peptide norbornenes have previously been used. Here, Passerini three component reaction exploited two variable varying in bulkiness and distance from polymerizable alkene. The results indicate that do not affect kinetics polymerization, whereas length linker has minor effect. Furthermore, diblock-type copolymer synthesized one-pot fashion, also indicating good control process. thermal properties all are evaluated, highlighting effect monomer composition. This synthetic approach can be transferred compounds, thus promising highly diverse complex compositions architectures.
