作者（2019）在《Self-assisted stereospecific polymerization of unmasked polar 4-methylthio-1-butene》一文中研究指出：Stereospecific polymerization of polar olefins has always been an attractive but challenging project because the Lewis basic polar groups of monomers are usually poisonous to the Lewis acidic metal centers of the catalysts. In this contribution,thiophene-fused cyclopentadienyl scandium complexes 1-3 were successfully synthesized. Combined with alkylaluminium and organoborate, these complexes showed extremely low activity and no selectivity for 1-hexene polymerization. Surprisingly,highly stereo-selective coordination polymerization of unprotected polar 4-methylthio-1-butene has been achieved in high activity for the first time under the same polymerization conditions. High-molecular-weight(M_n=110×10~3) and perfectly syndiotactic(rrrr>99%) poly(4-methylthio-1-butene)(P(MTB)) was afforded. Thus the methylthio-group-assisted mechanism that the unmasked methylthio group promoted the polymerization through σ-π chelation to the active scandium center together with the vinyl group was proposed. Moreover, the methylsulfonyl functionalized syndiotactic poly(1-butene) was also easily prepared by the oxidation of P(MTB). These results provided a new route for the synthesis of functionalized stereo-regular polyolefins.
Abstract
Stereospecific polymerization of polar olefins has always been an attractive but challenging project because the Lewis basic polar groups of monomers are usually poisonous to the Lewis acidic metal centers of the catalysts. In this contribution,thiophene-fused cyclopentadienyl scandium complexes 1-3 were successfully synthesized. Combined with alkylaluminium and organoborate, these complexes showed extremely low activity and no selectivity for 1-hexene polymerization. Surprisingly,highly stereo-selective coordination polymerization of unprotected polar 4-methylthio-1-butene has been achieved in high activity for the first time under the same polymerization conditions. High-molecular-weight(M_n=110×10~3) and perfectly syndiotactic(rrrr>99%) poly(4-methylthio-1-butene)(P(MTB)) was afforded. Thus the methylthio-group-assisted mechanism that the unmasked methylthio group promoted the polymerization through σ-π chelation to the active scandium center together with the vinyl group was proposed. Moreover, the methylsulfonyl functionalized syndiotactic poly(1-butene) was also easily prepared by the oxidation of P(MTB). These results provided a new route for the synthesis of functionalized stereo-regular polyolefins.
