Tetracyclododecene → Tcd cmcmn

Participants

Reaction Steps

The same polymerization as in Example 2 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 19.7 parts of 5-carboxy-5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-norbornene (CMCMN) obtained in Preparation Example 5 as monomers (monomer composition: TCD/CMCMN=50/50 (mol/mol)). The polymerization conversion rate was 99% or more, the monomer composition ratio (TCD/CMCMN) in the resulting ring-opened copolymer was 50/50 (mol/mol), and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) was 36,100.
