ANIONIC SYNTHESES OF TERMINALLY FUNCTIONALIZED ETHYLENE OLIGOMERS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Synthetic procedures for preparation of terminally functionalized linear ethylene oligomers are described. The preferred synthetic method is anionic oligomerization of ethylene with nbutyllithiumtetramethylethylenediamine and electrophilic substitution of the living oligomer soformed. Conditions and procedures for subsequent chemistry to elaborate the end groups of these oligomers are described. These procedures afford strictly linear ethylene oligomers which contain a wide variety of end groups and which range in molecular weight from 1000 to 4500 (Mn). The product oligomers were characterized spectroscopically as toluened8 solutions at 110C using multinuclear NMR, FTIR, fluorescence, and UVvisible spectroscopies as appropriate. Alternative stepwise approaches to such oligomers are also discussed. Copyright 1989 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
