[PMID: 37545655 PMCID: PMC10401671 DOI: 10.1021/acsorginorgau.3c00013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
We report an investigation of rates of ruthenium-catalyzed alternating ring opening metathesis (AROM) of cyclohexene with two different Ru-cyclohexylidene carbenes derived from bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-6-ene-7-carboxamides (A monomer) that bear different side chains. These monomers are propylbicyclo[4.2.0]oct-6-ene-7-carboxamide and N-(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanylbicyclo[4.2.0]oct-6-ene-7-carboxamide. The amide substitution of these monomers directly affects both the rate of the bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-6-ene-7-carboxamide ring opening and the rate of reaction of the resulting carbene with cyclohexene (B monomer). The resulting Ru-cyclohexylidenes underwent reversible ring opening metathesis with cyclohexene. However, the thermodynamic equilibrium disfavored cyclohexene ring opening. Utilization of triphenylphosphine forms a more stable PPh3 ligated complex, which suppresses the reverse ring closing reaction and allowed direct measurements of the forward rate constants for formation of various A-B and A-B-A' complexes through carbene-catalyzed ring-opening metathesis and thus gradient polymer structure-determining steps. The relative rate of the propylbicyclo[4.2.0]oct-6-ene-7-carboxamide ring opening is 3-fold faster than that of the N-(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanylbicyclo[4.2.0]oct-6-ene-7-carboxamide. In addition, the rate of cyclohexene ring-opening catalyzed by the propyl bicyclooctene is 1.4 times faster than when catalyzed by the ethoxyethoxy bicyclooctene. Also, the subsequent rates of bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-6-ene-7-carboxamide ring opening by propyl-based Ru-hexylidene are 1.6-fold faster than ethoxyethoxy-based Ru-hexylidene. Incorporation of the rate constants into reactivity ratios of bicyclo[4.2.0]amide-cyclohexene provides prediction of copolymerization kinetics and gradient copolymer structures.

Abstract
The ring-closing metathesis reaction of diene plays an important role in the construction of cyclic compounds. In this research, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to elucidate the mechanisms and origins of the selectivity of ring-closing metathesis and homometathesis. The computational results suggest that the selectivity is determined by the substrate conformation. For the ester-tethered substrate, the homometathesis is more favorable, due to the planar structure of ester facilitating the conjugative effect of the formed E-homometathesis product. For the amide-tethered substrate, the ring-closing metathesis product is the only observed product because the steric hindrance of N-substituents disfavors homometathesis.

Abstract
Fluoroalkenes are known to be notoriously reluctant substrates for olefin metathesis due to the generation of thermodynamically stable Fischer-type fluorocarbene intermediates, which invariably fail to undergo further reaction. In the present disclosure, we find that fluorine substitution on the sp2 carbon also strictly suppresses homopolymerization of norbornene derivatives (NBEs), and this can be harnessed to achieve alternating ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) with an appropriately electron-rich comonomer. Dihydrofuran (DHF) is thereby shown to undergo alternating ROMP with fluorinated norbornenes, the perfectly alternating structure of the resulting copolymer having been unambiguously elucidated by 1H, 19F, and 13C NMR analyses. Furthermore, we find that the degradability of the resultant copolymers in acidic media via hydrolysis of enol ether moieties in the backbone can be predictably modulated by the number of fluorine atoms present in the NBE comonomer, affording an opportunity to engage with the desirable physical properties of fluorinated polymers while limiting their attendant environmental degradability issues.

Abstract
The ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclopropenes using hydrazonium initiators is described. The initiators, which are formed by the condensation of 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and an aldehyde, polymerize cyclopropene monomers by a sequence of [3+2] cycloaddition and cycloreversion reactions. This process generates short chain polyolefins (Mn ≤9.4 kg mol-1 ) with relatively low dispersities (Đ≤1.4). The optimized conditions showed efficiency comparable to that achieved with Grubbs' 2nd generation catalyst for the polymerization of 3-methyl-3-phenylcyclopropene. A positive correlation between monomer to initiator ratio and degree of polymerization was revealed through NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The Grubbs G-I or G-II catalyst gives the ruthenium ethoxy carbene complex, which catalyzes ring-opening cross metathesis (ROCM) of a strained cyclic alkene to give a diene where one of the two alkene moieties in the product contains an ethoxy substituent. No polymeric products are detected. Hydrocarbons such as parent norbornene or substituted cyclopropenes can proceed with the reaction smoothly. Tertiary amines, N-alkylimides, esters, and aryl or alkyl bromides remain intact under the reaction conditions. In addition to vinyl ethers, vinylic esters can also be used. The time required to reach a 50% yield of the ROCM product t50 varies from 0.01 to 140 h depending on the strain and nucleophilicity of the double bond. Anchimeric participation of an electron-rich group would result in significant enhancement of the reactivity, and the t50 could be as short as several minutes. A similar substrate without such a neighboring group shows a much slower rate. An exo-norborne derivative reacts much faster than the corresponding endo-isomer. Alkenes with poor nucleophilicity are less favored for the ROCM process, so is less strained cyclooctene.

Abstract
Despite the various utilities of cyclopropenes (CPEs) in organic synthesis and ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), their vinyl addition polymerization has been sporadically explored, and the corresponding living/controlled polymerization remains a formidable challenge. The major obstacle is the intrinsic instability of the intermediate and the kinetic barrier for propagation. Herein a living/controlled vinyl addition polymerization of 3-methyl-3-carboxymethyl CPEs, catalyzed by [Pd(π-allyl)Cl]2 ligated by a sulfinamide bisphosphine ligand, is demonstrated. A plot of the number-average molecular weight (Mn) versus the conversion was found to be linear during the polymerization, with the molecular weight dispersity (Mw/Mn) remaining narrow. The Mn values increased linearly with the increase in the initial feed ratio of monomer to catalyst. Furthermore, controlled block copolymerization via sequential monomer addition was successful. All of these points corroborate the living nature of this polymerization. The synergistic coordination action of the catalyst ligand and the lateral carbonyl group in the cyclopropene moiety plays a key role in achieving the efficient polymerization in a living/controlled manner.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biorefineries have received considerable attention for the purpose of producing high-value chemicals and materials. Levulinic acid (LA) is an important biomass-derived platform chemical that is produced from sugar-based biomass. Unfortunately, the catalysts reported thus far have shortcomings, such as expensive starting materials, complicated synthesis or purification operations, and a low LA yield under harsh reaction conditions. Herein, we develop a novel dual-functional catalyst, HScCl4, by combining Brønsted acid (HCl) and Lewis acid (ScCl3) sites. The as-prepared HScCl4 catalyst shows high efficiency and high selectivity for converting 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to LA in a biphasic system consisting of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and water. The density functional theory (DFT) results show that the synergistic catalytic effect, originating from the Brønsted and Lewis acidic sites of HScCl4, significantly decreases the energy barriers of reactants and intermediates, thus facilitating the conversion of HMF to LA. Moreover, the efficient separation of LA in the water-MIBK biphasic system by extracting LA to the MIBK phase minimizes the side reactions of LA and thus the formation of humins while significantly improving the LA yield. The conversion of HMF and the selectivity for LA are 100 and 95.6% at 120 °C for 35 min, respectively. The free energy (ΔG) and activation energy (E a) of the reaction are -30 kcal mol-1 and 13.7 kJ mol-1, respectively. The developed process provides a green, sustainable, and efficient pathway to produce LA from biomass-derived HMF under mild conditions.

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

Abstract
Cyclopropenes (CPEs) are highly strained cyclic olefins, yet there are surprisingly limited examples leveraging their high strain energy for polymerization. In the past, attempts had been made to polymerize CPEs via cationic and insertion polymerization, but side reactions often gave uncontrolled polymers with mixed backbone structures. Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) represents an ideal strategy for polymerizing CPEs to access new types of polymers. The proximity of substituents to the olefin in the small framework of CPEs offers a modular handle to tune the kinetic barrier to propagation by the modulation of the substituents. While the first few studies focused on the homopolymerization of simple alkyl or phenyl disubstituted CPEs, we recently explored the metathesis of a wide range of CPEs with different substituents using Grubbs catalysts and discovered surprising and diverse reactivities that are contingent on the positions, sterics, and electronics of substituents. The observed reactivities ranged from living homopolymerization to catalyst deactivation to single addition to the catalyst without homopropagation. In particular, the exclusively single addition reactivity found in two families of CPEs, with either bis(methanol ester) or phenyl and methanol ester substituents at the allylic position, is unusual for any monomer and perhaps counterintuitive for highly strained cycles. These single-addition CPEs could, however, be copolymerized with low-strain cyclic olefins to generate perfectly alternating copolymers with controlled molecular weights and low dispersity and to introduce degradable backbone linkages. A single equivalent (relative to the active chain end) of such CPEs could also be added to the active chain end of living ROMP polymers to install functional terminal groups or during living ROMP to place single units of functional moieties or side chains at any desired chain locations in narrow-disperse homopolymers and block copolymers. This account summarizes the polymerization of CPEs with a focus on our journey to uncover the rich and unique metathesis reactivities of CPEs and their utility in synthesizing well-controlled and sequence-regulated polymers. It provides the first collective structure-metathesis reactivity relationships for CPEs in the context of polymer chemistry and an understanding of the interactions between the catalyst and the substituents of appended ring-opened CPEs. It may become clear from this Account that the exploration of strained cycles in polymer chemistry can be quite fruitful in discovering new chemistry and accessing new types of polymer materials.

Abstract
Ferrocene, the crown of metallocene family, is widely studied as a functional
unit in electrochemical and catalytic applications due to its sandwich structure. Ferrocene
moieties can be embedded into the polymer backbone, leading to main-chain ferrocenecontaining
polymers. These polymeric materials combine the unique functionalities of
iron center with the processabilities of polymers. As one of the choice polymerization
techniques, acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization serves as a versatile
method to prepare main-chain ferrocene-containing polymers under mild conditions using
α,ω-dienes as monomers. This paper overviews main-chain ferrocene-containing polymers
prepared by ADMET polymerization. Advances in the design, synthesis and applications
of this class of organometallic monomers and polymers are detailed.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of degradable polyacetals and polyketals with controlled molecular weights and low dispersities using alternating ring-opening metathesis polymerization (AROMP) of 1,1-disubstituted cyclopropenes and dioxepins. Under optimized conditions, high degrees of alternation and controlled polymerization were achieved between nonpropagating cyclopropenes and low-strain dioxepins. The high degrees of alternation allowed the resulting polymers to fully degrade into small molecules under acidic conditions at variable rates depending on the acetal/ketal structures. This synthetic strategy illustrates the use of AROMP to incorporate functionalities into both the polymer backbone as well as the side chains.
