Abstract

Isopropoxyethyne (1a) and tert-butoxyethyne (1b) were polymerized using group 5 and 6 transition metal catalysts to give poly(isopropoxyethyne) (2a) and poly(tert-butoxyethyne) (2b), respectively. The weight-average molecular weight (M̄_w) of the resulting poly(alkoxyethyne)s was up to 1.0 × 10⁴. Among the transition metal catalysts, a tungsten alkoxide or a molybdenum alkoxide having low Lewis acidity were found to effectively promote the polymerization without causing side reactions. Poly(tert-butoxyethyne) was successfully converted to poly(β-ketone) 3 by acid hydrolysis of the tert-butyl vinyl moiety.
