preparation example Construction

[0027] In the preparation of cyclic poly(olefins), the hydroxyl groups on the monomers can be unprotected or protected as derivatives of the following functional groups: acetyl; benzoyl; benzyl; β-methoxyethoxymethyl ether; methoxymethyl ether; p-methoxybenzyl ether; methylthiomethyl ether; tetrahydropyranyl; tetrahydrofuran; trityl; trimethylsilyl; tert-butyldimethyl tri-isopropylsilyloxymethyl; triisopropylsilyl; methyl ether; ethoxyethyl ether; or protected in any other way. In the preparation of cyclic poly(alkenyl); the amino group on the monomer can be unprotected or protected as a derivative of the following functional groups: carbenzyloxy; p-methoxybenzylcarbonyl; tert-butoxycarbonyl; 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl; benzyl; p-methoxybenzyl; 3; 4-dimethoxybenzyl; or protected in any other way. In the preparation of cyclic poly(alkenyl); the carboxylic acid group on the monomer can be unprotected or protected as a derivative of the following functional groups: methyl ester;...

example 1

[0116] Example 1: Macrocyclic poly(propyne) and polypropylene

[0117] Polymerization of propyne was carried out in propyne-saturated dry THF formed by bubbling propyne gas for three minutes. Polymerization was initiated by injecting tungsten catalyst complex 4 into the reaction flask through the septum. The solution immediately turned orange as the viscosity increased and the temperature increased. Addition of dry and oxygen-free methanol after 15 minutes terminates the polymerization and precipitates polymer which forms a fibrous material after drying overnight. Polymer 1 The H NMR spectrum exhibited a broad peak signal of olefinic protons ranging from 4.6 to 6.5 ppm. The broad signal contained a maximum at 5.9 ppm and was attributable to the trans isomer protons of polypropyne. The methyl protons appear as broad signals centered at 0.89ppm and 1.79ppm, and 13 C{ 1 H} NMR spectrum contains a resonance at 135.1 ppm, indicating sp 2 carbon. These assignments are consist...

[0125] Example 2: Macrocyclic poly(4-methyl-1-pentene)

[0126] In an inert atmosphere glove box, toluene (2.0 mL) and 4-methyl-1-pentyne (600 μL, 5.0 mmol) were added to a glass vial equipped with a stir bar to obtain a colorless monomer solution. The stock solution of tungsten catalyst complex 4 and the monomer solution were injected once at a ratio of 1700:1 via a micropipette at ambient temperature to initiate polymerization. Polymerization was rapid and exothermic. The color of the solution immediately changed from light yellow (catalyst) to bright orange. After 30 minutes, the reaction solution was added dropwise to a ten-fold excess of stirred degassed methanol, resulting in an orange precipitate. Vacuum filtration under a flow of argon followed by drying under vacuum overnight afforded cyclic poly(4-methyl-1-pentyne) (cPMPy) in 95.5% yield, M n 5.80×10 5 and the dispersion is 3.76. 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 ,300MHz)δ(ppm):6.3-5.5(b,1H,CH=C),2.5-1.1(bm,3H,CH 2 -CH),1.0-0...

Abstract

Macrocyclic polyalkene homopolymers and copolymers can be formed and converted to macrocyclic polyalkanes or macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkene) upon hydrogenation or, when the macrocyclic polyalkene is reacted with an alkene in the presence of an olefin metathesis catalyst, to a macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkene) comprising vicinal -C(=CR2)-'s. Upon hydrogenation of a macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkene) comprising vicinal -C(=CR2)- 's, macrocyclic poly(alkane)s or poly(alkane-co-alkene)s with isolated -C(=CR2)- groups can be provided, depending on the degree of hydrogenation. The poly(alkane-co-alkene)s with isolated -C(=CR2)- units can be used to form poly(macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkene))s, poly(macrocyclic poly(alkane))s, and / or bi-, tri-, and / or multi-macrocyclic poly(alkane-co- alkene)s or bi-, tri-, and / or multi-macrocyclic poly(alkane)s.

Description

[0001] Statement of Government Support [0002] This invention was made with government support under CHE-1506850 awarded by the National Science Foundation. The US Government has certain rights in this invention. [0003] Cross References to Related Applications [0004] This application claims priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 561,941, filed September 22, 2017, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0005] The present disclosure generally relates to cyclic polymers. In particular, the present disclosure relates to macrocyclic polyolefins, macrocyclic polyalkanes, and macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkenes). Background technique [0006] Cyclic polymers or macrocycles differ in their structure and properties from their equivalent molecular weight linear counterparts due to the absence of chain ends. These differences were observed in solution and in bulk. These differences inclu...
