Tetracyclododecene → Tcd ccmn

Participants

Reaction Steps

The same polymerization as in Example 7 was carried out, except for using a mixture of 15 parts of tetracyclo[4.4.0.12,5.17,10]dodec-3-ene (TCD) and 18.4 parts of 5-carboxy-5-carboxymethyl-2-norbornene (CCMN) obtained in Preparation Example 4 as monomers (monomer composition: TCD/CCMN=50/50 (mol/mol)), and using 1-hexene in an amount of 0.16 part. The polymerization conversion rate was 98%, the monomer composition ratio (TCD/CCMN) in the resulting ring-opened copolymer was 50/50 (mol/mol), and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) was 34,400.
