Direct introduction of primary amine into nonpolar polyolefins mediated by a new metallocene IFZ catalyst. A new synthetic approach for one-pot synthesis of allyl amine-capped polyolefins
We report on the first example of metallocene-catalyzed allyl amine incorporation having only one CH2 chain spacer into the nonpolar polymer backbone using new metallocene I and methylaluminoxane with high activity at high temperature. This is the first example of predominant chain end site-selective introduction of amine group into the polyolefins.
