Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP)
has been regarded as a powerful tool for sequence-controlled
polymerization. However, the traditional entropy-driven
ROMP of macrocyclic olefins suffers from the lack of ring
strain and poor regioselectivity, whereas the relay-ring-closing
metathesis polymerization inevitably brings some unnecessary
auxiliary structure into each monomeric unit. We developed
a macrobicyclic olefin system bearing a sacrificial silyloxide
bridge on the a,b’-positions of the double bond as a new class
of sequence-defined monomer for regioselective ROMP. The
monomeric sequence information is implanted in the macroring,
while the small ring, a 3-substituted cyclooctene structure
with substantial ring tension, can provide not only narrow
polydispersity, but also high regio-/stereospecificity. Besides,
the silyloxide bridge can be sacrificially cleaved by desilylation
and deoxygenation reactions to provide clean-structured, nonauxiliaried
polymers.
