2-Norbornene → 3-Dodecen

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, an anhydrous toluene solution (2 ml) containing 1-hexene (75 μl: 6.0 mol %) and a Grubbs I catalyst (4.1 mg: 0.05 mol %) was added to an anhydrous toluene solution (23 ml) containing the norbornene monomer J (1.60 g: 10.0 mmol), and stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. However, the reaction system was heterogeneous, and a polymer was precipitated. The obtained polymer (pO) was insoluble to chloroform, THF, and the like.
