Nonstoichiometric Stille Coupling Polycondensation via an Intramolecular Pd(0) Catalyst Transfer Using Excess Phthalimide Monomer

Regioselective Synthesis of Pyrrole-Based Poly(arylenevinylene)s via Mn-Catalyzed Hydroarylation Polyaddition

Mn-catalyzed hydroarylation polyaddition of 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)pyrrole (1a) with aromatic diynes is investigated. The use of commercially available MnBr(CO)5 as a precatalyst under the optimized reaction conditions resulted in a site- and regioselective hydroarylation polyaddition, affording the corresponding poly(arylenevinylene)s (PAVs) with excellent vinylene selectivity. The reaction protocol eliminates the production of stoichiometric amounts of byproducts from the monomers. The nonstoichiometric polyaddition of an excess amount of 1a with aromatic diynes is also demonstrated. The 2-pyrimidinyl substituent promoted the intramolecular transfer of the Mn catalyst walking through the 1a moiety.

Nonstoichiometric Direct Arylation Polymerization of Octafluorobiphenyl with 2,7-Diiodofluorene for Regulating CH Terminals of π-Conjugated Polymer

Nonstoichiometric direct arylation polycondensation of 2,2',3,3',5,5',6,6'-octafluorobiphenyl with excess of 2,7-diiodo-9,9-dioctyl-9H-fluorene is demonstrated. Pd/Ag dual-catalyst system under water/2-methyltetrahydrofuran biphasic conditions enables direct arylation under mild conditions and promotes the intramolecular transfer of a Pd catalyst walking through the fluorene moiety. The nonstoichiometric direct arylation polycondensation under the optimized reaction conditions produces the corresponding π-conjugated polymer with a high molecular weight and terminal octafluorobiphenyl units at both ends.

Nonstoichiometric hydroarylation polyaddition for synthesis of pyrrole-based poly(arylenevinylene)s

Nonstoichiometric polyaddition via the Co-catalyzed hydroarylation of diyne monomers with excess 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)pyrrole was demonstrated.

Synthesis of aromatic polyketones by nonstoichiometric Friedel–Crafts polycondensation using AlCl3

Aromatic polyketones were successfully synthesized by Friedel–Crafts acylation using AlCl₃ between aromatic dicarboxylic acid chlorides and 2,2′-dimethoxybiphenyl under both stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric conditions.
