Degradation of natural rubber via cross-metathesis with electron-deficient enes

Publikation: KonferenzbeitragPoster

Abstract

Due to the high degree of substitution at its double bond, cross-metathesis of natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene, NR) with other enes is known to be a challenging task as the accessibility of the double bond is limited and self-metathesis of the other reaction partner prevails [1]. Cross metathesis of NR has been accomplished with several substrates [2] among them acrylates. In this case the degradation lead to semi-telechelic oligomers bearing an electron deficient enoate end group, which has been exploited for further functionalization [3] (see Figure below). However, cross metathesis with acrylates suffers from an additional deactivation pathway of the intermediate methylidene species by deprotonation by a strong base formed in the phospha-Michael addition of dissociated phosphine ligands with acrylates [4]. Consequently typically phosphine free catalysts are used for this and similar transformations.
Herein we present a screening of different catalysts and electron-deficient cross-metathesis partners for the degradation of NR and NR-waste. Emphasis is laid on testing cross-metathesis partners not producing a methylidene species in the catalytic cycle and finding conditions for allowing a further reduction of catalyst loadings for this reaction.
