N‑Substituted Iminocaprolactams as Versatile and Low Cost Ligands in Group 4 Metal Initiators for the Living Coordinative Chain Transfer Polymerization of α‑Olefins
journal contribution
posted on 2017-10-18, 19:42 authored by Jia Wei, Leila M. Duman, Daniel W. Redman, Brendan L. Yonke, Peter Y. Zavalij, Lawrence R. SitaA new
structurally diverse ligand for metal complexes, the (κ2-N,N)-iminocaprolactam group,
that can be obtained in large bulk quantities from inexpensive and
readily available starting materials, is introduced. In the present
report, the ability of this family of ligands to provide a viable
substitute for the acyclic amidinate moiety of a class of cationic
monocyclopentadienyl, amidinate (CPAM) group 4 metal initiators for
the living coordination polymerization (LCP) and living coordinative
chain transfer polymerization (LCCTP) of α-olefins is documented
through the synthesis of (η5-C5Me5)Hf[(R)NimcapN](Me)2 [R = benzyl (1), CH2(1-naphthyl) (2), and tert-butyl [C(CH3)3] (3)] as preinitiators for the (stereoselective) LCP and LCCTP of propene.
