Regioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Chain-Growth Allylic Amination Polymerization of Vinyl Aziridines.

ABSTRACT: Organometallic-mediated chain growth polymerization of readily accessible chemical building blocks is responsible for important commercial and technological advances in polymer science, but the incorporation of heteroatoms into the polymer backbone through these mechanisms remains a challenge. Transition metal π-allyl complexes are well-developed organometallic intermediates for carbon-heteroatom bond formation in small-molecule catalysis yet remain underexplored in polymer science. Here, we developed a regioselective palladium-phosphoramidite-catalyzed chain-growth allylic amination polymerization of vinyl aziridines for the synthesis of novel nitrogen-rich polymers via ambiphilic π-allyl complexes. The polymerization accessed a linear microstructure with four carbons between each nitroge
