Functional Telechelic Oligomers from Myrcene via a Versatile Dilithiated Initiator in Flow Chemistry
Abstract Accessing telechelic polymers from renewable resources can be challenging but is nonetheless an essential goal as we increase sustainability in polymer and materials science. With this objective, we report the anionic oligomerization of biobased myrcene using a versatile dilithiated initiator. Use of the dilithiated initiator in a microflow reactor resulted in excellent control over the polymerization as well as the trapping of various electrophilic species (aldehyde, ketone, imine, amide, disulfide, and carbon dioxide) in liquid or gas phase, with a high functionalization degree to afford end-capped telechelic oligomers with α,ω-dihydroxy, amino, carbonyl, sulfide, and carboxylic acid functionality.
