“…Attractive renewable feedstocks are, among others, terpenes, especially monoterpenes (limonene or β‐myrcene) and also sesquiterpenes (β‐farnesene) 3–5 . Among these, β‐myrcene is a hydrocarbon 1,3‐conjugated diene, like butadiene, isoprene or β‐farnesene, which can be readily converted into a fully bio‐based elastomer by free‐radical, 6,7 controlled radical, 8,9 anionic, 10–17 cationic 18 or coordination polymerization techniques 19–21 . Polymyrcene with a high content of cis ‐1,4 units, resembling natural rubber ( cis ‐1,4‐polyisoprene), can be obtained by anionic or controlled radical polymerization, whereas highly trans ‐1,4‐ or isotactic 3,4‐polymyrcene is produced by coordination polymerization.…”
