Facile Synthesis of a Novel Furanic Monomer and Its ADMET Polymerization toward Fully Renewable Functional Polymers.

ABSTRACT: Efficient and sustainable transformation of biomass-derived chemicals to materials with the potential to replace conventional fossil-derived polymers is considered a major challenge. In this work, we disclose the synthesis of a novel furan-based α,ω-diene monomer following a facile, green, and energy-efficient process from fully renewable starting materials. The multifunctional monomer was produced by the base-catalyzed cross-aldol condensation of 10-undecenal (UA) and 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) under mild conditions, providing the desired product in good yields. By employing the new monomer, fully biobased polymers were prepared in good molecular weights (M _n up to 31 kg/mol) by acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization using Grubb's second-generation catalysts.
