Synthesis of Novel Organoboron Polymers by Haloboration Polymerization of Bisallene Compounds and Their Reactions
Novel organoboron polymers were prepared by haloboration polymerizatrion of bisallene compounds. The polymers obtained have allylborane halide units in their main chain and can be expected as a novel type of reactive polymers. For example, the polymer prepared by haloboration polymerization between tribromoborane (1) and 1,2,10,11-dodecatetraene (2b) was subjected to chain transformation reaction (dichloromethyl methyl ether rearrangement) to give the corresponding polyalcohol or polyketone. Haloboration-phenylboration polymerization of aliphatic bisallenes by using diphenylbromoborane also gave the corresponding polymers.
