Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) The tail end: The Rh-catalyzed selective functionalization of commercial linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) with boron reagents is demonstrated. Subsequent oxidation and transformations of the boron-containing polymer yields materials that contain a variety of polar functionalities, such as hydroxy, amino, and formyl groups, at the termini of the side chains (see scheme).
