Abstract
The Pd-catalyzed carbonylative polymerization of α,ω-enol ethers derived from etherification of 10-undecenol with diols is reported, extending the scope of this relatively new polymerization strategy beyond simple 10-undecenol. By varying the length of the aliphatic diol fragment in the α,ω-enol ether monomers the Tmand Tdof the polymers could be modified, ranging from 53 to 62 °C and 247 to 277 °C. Additionally, polymerization of α,ω-enol ethers containing rigid and bioderived diol moieties has been achieved, expanding the range of structures and polymer properties accessible via hydroesterificative polymerization. These more rigid α,ω-enol ether monomers resulted in further tuning of the polymer physical properties, with Tmvalues ranging from 54 to 68 °C and Tgvalues increasing up to -17 °C.
