Abstract
The alternating polymerization of cyclobutene 1-carboxylic esters and cyclohexene derivatives with the precatalyst [(H 2IMes)(3-Br-pyr) 2Cl 2Ru CHPh] is described. This reaction is synthetically accessible and provides (AB)n heteropolymers with an alternating backbone and alternating functionality. The regiocontrol of heteropolymer formation derives from the inability of the cyclobutene ester and cyclohexene monomers to undergo homopolymerization in combination with the favorable kinetics of cross polymerization.
