  • DEPOLYMERIZATION OF OLIGOMERS AND POLYMERS COMPRISING CYCLOBUTANE UNITS
    Publication number: 20230059241
    Abstract: Methods of polymer and/or oligomer depolymerization are described herein which, in some embodiments, enable facile polymer and/or oligomer decomposition under mild, non-energy intensive conditions. Briefly, a method of depolymerization comprises providing a reaction mixture comprising a transition metal catalyst, and a polymer or oligomer having a backbone including cyclobutane units, and decomposing the polymer or oligomer to provide diene monomer or alkene monomer.

  • METHODS FOR PRODUCING STEP DIENES
    Publication number: 20220274098
    Abstract: Methods for the hydroalkenylation of conjugated, 1,3-dienes using a diimine catalyst. The method comprises mixing a diene having at least five carbon atoms and an iron diimine complex at a temperature of about ?60° C. to about 23° C. to provide a catalyst solution; and introducing one or more alpha olefins at a pressure of at least 300 psig to obtain a product comprising the substituted diene monomer.
