RT Journal Article T1 Catalytic cyclopropanation of polybutadienes A1 Urbano Baena, Juan A1 Korthals, Brigitte A1 Díaz Requejo, María Mar A1 Pérez Romero, Pedro José A1 Mecking, Stefan AB Catalytic cyclopropanation of commercial 1,2- or 1,4-cis-polybutadiene, respectively, with ethyl diazoacetate catalyzedby [TpBr3Cu(NCMe)] (TpBr3¼hydrotris(3,4,5-tribromo-1-pyrazo-lyl)borate) at room temperature afforded high molecular weight(Mn>105mol 1) side-chain or main-chain, respectively, carbox-yethyl cyclopropyl-substituted polymers with variable and con-trolled degrees of functionalization. Complete functionalizationof 1,4-cis-polybutadiene afforded poly[ethylene-alt-(3-ethoxycar-bonyl-cyclopropene)]. Catalytic hydrogenation of residual dou-ble bonds of partially cyclopropanated polybutadienes providedaccess to the corresponding saturated polyolefins. Thermalproperties are reported.
