[Background Art] 10 [0002] Cyclic olefin-based polymers produced by using cyclic olef ins as monomers have alicyclic structures in their main chain skeletons. Hence, such a cyclic olefin-based polymer is more likely to be amorphous, exhibits an excellent transparency and heat resistance, has a small photo-elastic coefficient, and also has such properties as a low water absorbing property, acid resistance, alkaline resistance, and a high electrical insulation property. For this reason, use 15 of the cyclic olefin-based polymers has been examined in applications such as display applications (retardation films, diffusion films, liquid-crystal substrates, films for touch panels, light guide plates, protection films for polarizing plates, and the like), optical lens applications, optical disk applications (CD, MD, CD-R, DVD, and the like), optical fiber appli- cations, optical film/sheet applications, and sealing applications for optical semiconductors. Of such cyclic olefin- based polymers, hydrogenated products of cyclic olefin-based polymers obtained by ring opening metathesis polymerization 20 of norbornene derivatives are particularly known to exhibit excellent transparency and heat resistance, and to have a characteristic of a small photo-elastic constant. Hence, such a hydrogenated product, as well as polycarbonate, has been used for retardation films for liquid crystal displays (LCD) and the like. For this reason, development of cyclic olefin- based polymers obtained by using norbornene derivatives has been actively conducted. Under such circumstances, cyclic olefin-based polymers having various structures have been developed. In particular, cyclic olefin- based polymers 25 having a spiro structure, which is one of the cardo structures, and the like have attracted attention, because desired birefringence and wavelength dependence, which are required for retardation films for LCDs, can be controlled freely. [0003] As a method for producing a norbornene derivative having a specific structure such as the spiro- type structure, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2006-189474 (PTL 1) discloses a method for producing a norbornene derivative having a spiro- type structure, comprising carrying out a Diels- Alder reaction of a vinyl 30 ketone synthesized by a Mannich reaction or the like with cyclopentadiene (Total yield: 53%). Meanwhile, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2008-7733 (PTL 2) discloses a method for producing a norbornene derivative having a spiro-type structure by utilizing a Diels-Alder addition reaction of cyclopentadiene with an olefin compound (the yield of the vinyl ketone is not shown). In addition, Bulletin de la Societe Chimique de France (5) published in 1966, pages 1693 to 1698 (NPL 1) discloses a method for producing a norbornene having a spiro-type structure, 35 comprising: synthesizing a Mannich base (N,N-dimethylamino methyl-a-tetralone) (yield: 65%) by reacting α-tetralone, which is a cyclic ketone, and dimethylamine hydrochloride in a 35% aqueous formalin solution; and then reacting the Mannich base with cyclopentadiene. Furthermore, Chem. Ber. vol. 117 published in 1984, pages 682 to 693 (NPL 2) discloses a method for producing a norbornene derivative having a spiro-type structure, comprising: synthesizing a Mannich base from a cyclic ketone such as cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, 1- indanone, or 1-benzosuberone in a usual 40 manner; and then reacting the Mannich base and cyclopentadiene. However, none of the conventional methods for producing a norbornene derivative described in PTLs 1 and 2 and NPLs 1 and 2 is necessarily sufficient from the viewpoint of producing the norbornene derivative in a sufficient yield.

Ber., published in 1984, vol. 117, pages 682 to 693 [Summary of Invention] 5 [Technical Problem] [0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above described problem of the conventional technologies, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a norbornene derivative, which makes it possible to produce a norbornene derivative having a predetermined structure such as a spiro- type norbornene derivative 10 in a sufficiently high yield. [Solution to Problem] [0007] The present inventors have conducted earnest study to achieve the above-described object, and obtained the 15 following results. Specifically, the present inventors first examined the reasons why the above-described conventional technologies are not capable of producing a norbornene derivative in a sufficient yield, and have found that one of the reasons is as follows. Specifically, a vinyl ketone used as a raw material for producing a spiro norbornene undergoes spontaneous dimerization by a hetero Diels- Alder reaction under a temperature condition of 5 °C or above as described in the following reaction formula: 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 [in the reaction formula, Ra and Rb represent hydrocarbon groups or the like]. Hence, the dimerization of the vinyl ketone proceeds in parallel under an ordinary condition, and thus a vinyl ketone dimer is easily formed. As a result, the yield is lowered due to the dimer formation in the stage of synthesizing the vinyl ketone. Moreover, the present inventors have found that another of the reasons is as follows. Specifically, in the conventional method in which a spiro 55 norbornene is synthesized by preparing a Mannich base as a precursor of a vinyl ketone, isolating the Mannich base, and then subjecting the isolated Mannich base to the Hofmann degradation in the presence of a diene, to thereby generate the vinyl ketone in situ and simultaneously carry out a Diels-Alder reaction, the Mannich base is difficult to utilize sufficiently because of the following reason.

This transformation has not previously been done catalytically and has not been done in practical manner with stepwise or stoichiometric processes. Building on the previous work of the Lambert lab on the metathesis of cyclopropene and an aldehyde using a hydrazine catalyst, this work discusses efforts to expand to the less stained norbornene. Computational and experimental studies on the catalytic cycle are discussed, including detailed experimental work on how various factors affect the difficult cycloreversion step. The second portion of this thesis details the use of chiral cyclopropenimine bases as catalysts for asymmetric Michael reactions. The Lambert lab has previously developed chiral cyclopropenimine bases for glycine imine nucleophiles. The scope of these catalysts was expanded to include glycine imine derivatives in which the nitrogen atom was replaced with a carbon atom, and to include imines derived from other amino acids. i Table of Contents List of Abbreviations…………………………………………………………………………..iv Part I: Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………… 1 Chapter 1 – Metathesis Reactions of Double Bonds………………………………………….. 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………. 1 Olefin Metathesis………………………………………………………………………… 2 Wittig Reaction…………………………………………………………………………... 6 Tebbe Olefination………………………………………………………………………... 9 Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………….

  • S Via Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP)
    1 Chapter 1 Synthesis of End-Functionalized Polynorbornenes via Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) 2 Abstract The synthesis of a variety of polynorbornenes (PNB)s bearing acetoxy, hydroxy, and vinyl end-groups was accomplished. PNBs with an acetoxy group at one terminus and a vinyl group at the other were prepared using norbornene, ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalyst (PCy3)2Cl2Ru=CHPh, and allyl acetate as a chain transfer agent (CTA). Employing a more active catalyst, (1,3-dimesityl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2- ylidene)(PCy3)Cl2Ru=CHPh, and 1,4-diacetoxy-2-butene as the CTA afforded telechelic PNBs bearing acetoxy groups at both ends of the polymer chains. Molecular weights were controlled by varying the initial monomer/CTA ratio and were in agreement with their theoretical values. Using a similar procedure, acetoxy end-functionalized PNBs were also obtained by degradation of high molecular weight PNB. Removal of the acetoxy groups afforded the corresponding hydroxy terminated polymers with number averaged functionalities close to two. Mechanisms are proposed for the formation of the end-functionalized polymers. Correction factors for characterizing PNBs by gel- permeation chromatography (GPC) are also suggested. Portions of this chapter have been previously reported, see: Bielawski, C. W.; Benitez, D.; Morita, T.; Grubbs, R. H. Macromolecules 2001, 34, 8610. 3 Introduction Telechelic polymers, or polymers with functional groups selectively positioned at the termini of any given chain, have been extensively employed in a variety of applications including intermediates in the synthesis of block copolymers, use as cross- linking agents, and in the formation of polymeric networks.1-4 Since these applications are often dependent on structural, mechanical, and thermal properties of the telechelic polymer, expanding the range of selectable monomers remains a synthetic goal in polymer chemistry.

A novel solvent-free method for loading guests into the interior of the hexamer has been shown to be effective for encapsulation of a variety of molecules.

TITLE: The Photochemistry of some Substituted 2-Cyclohexenones and the Excited States Involved AUTHOR: Floyd Frederick Snyder, B.Sc. '(University of Alberta) SUPERVISOR: Dr. J. J. McCullough NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 87 SCOPE AND CONTENTS: The photoadditions of 3~phenyl-2-cyclohexenone to bicyclo [2.2.1] ­ hepta-2,5-diene, bicyclo [2.2.1] hept-2mene and cyclopentene have been studied. In all cases £.!1! fused cyclobutane products were obtained. Quenching and sensitization experiments indicated a singlet excited state to be active in photocycloaddition. Phosphorescence and fluorescence emission were observed from 3-phenyl-2-cyclohexenoneo Energy transfer to the lo~.rest triplet of 3-phenyl-2-cyclohexenone was evident from the quenching of Michler's ketone phosphorescence. Two norbornene dimers were detected in the photolysis of 3-phenyl-2-cyclo­ hexenone and norbornene giving evidence for a higher triplet excited state of the enone. The photoaddition of 3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone to cyclopentene l.ras studied for comparison and both .£!..! and !.r..!.U! fused adducts l-Tere obtained. In photolyses with bicyclo [2e2el] hepta-2,5­ diene or cyclopentene, 2-phenyl... 2-cyclohexenone lvas unreactive. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is a pleasure to express my gratitude to Dr.
