“…Tandem ROMP/CM of various cyclic olefins have, thus, enabled the synthesis of a wide range of α,ω-difunctional POs featuring end-capping groups as diverse as acetoxy, carboxylate, halide, pseudo-halide, hydroxyl, and cross-linkable epoxide or methacrylate [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33]. Recent advances in our group enlarged the family of telechelic (co)polyolefins ((co)POs) derived from methathesis routes to alkoxysilyl, azlactone, (thio)carbonate, and epoxide end-capped polymers [34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42]. We report herein on the synthesis and characterization of epoxide, oxetane, and dithiocarbonate α,ω-difunctional (co)POs through the ROMP/CM of some cyclic olefins, namely cyclooctene (COE), trans , trans , cis -1,5,9-cyclododecatriene (CDT), norbornene (NB), and methyl 5-norbornene-2-carboxylate (NB COOMe ), using G2 in the presence of the corresponding epoxide or oxetane functional symmetrical CTA.…”
