Abstract

A novel synthetic pathway towards aldehyde end-functionalized polymers is presented from a combination of catalytic chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) and rhodium catalyzed hydroformylation in supercritical carbon dioxide. CCTP allows for the synthesis of well-defined macromonomers in terms of the average molecular weight and the terminal unit carrying the unsaturated bond. The rhodium catalyzed hydroformylation allows for a high selectivity towards aldehyde end-group functionalized polymers. The introduction of the synthetically versatile aldehyde end-group opens up a broad range of possible applications.
