N-ヘテロ環状カルベンを開始剤とする高分子合成
Polymer Synthesis using N-Heterocyclic Carbene as the Initiator
高須 昭則
Akinori TAKASU
<要旨> A diene-based cyclic polymer has been synthesized by the anionic polymerization of methyl sorbate (MS) by an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC). Although the polymerization did not occur in toluene in the absence of any additive, quantitative monomer consumption was observed in the presence of methylaluminum bis(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxide) (MAD) to afford the poly(MS) with a 1,4-trans structure, 86% of threo diastereoselectivity, and a Mn of 23.0×103 with narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn = 1.17). From the matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI-TOF) mass spectra of poly(MS) and the hydrogenated analogue, ring-closing occurred by nucleophilic attack of the anionic propagating center into the adjacent carbon of the α-terminal imidazolimium group to afford cyclic poly(MS). In this paper, we introduced NHC-initiated ring-opning polymerization of racemic lactide to give stereoregular not cyclic but linear poly(lactide) in the presence of MAD.

α-機能化アクリル酸エステルの共役置換による高分子の合成・分解・変換
Construction, Destruction, and Transformation of Polymer Main Chain by Conjugate Substitution of α-(Halomethyl)acrylates
髙坂 泰弘
Yasuhiro KOHSAKA
<要旨> Conjugate substitution of α-(halomethyl)acrylates is an attractive reaction for polymerization, polymer degradation and modification, because it affords α-functionalized acrylates with quantitative yields under ambient condition. For example, bis[α-(chloromethyl)acrylate] underwent polycondensation with bisphenols, dicarboxylic acids, primary monoamines, and dithiols to yield the corresponding poly(conjugated esters). Among them, the polymers prepared from dicarboxylic acids were degradable by the treatment with thiols, as the α-(acyloxymethyl)acrylate skeletons in the backbone is also active to conjugate substitution. In a similar mechanism, the poly(ester ester) were converted to poly(ester sulfide) through the conjugate substitution with dithiols. The conversion approximately agreed with the feed ratio of dithiols against the α-(acyloxymethyl)acrylate skeletons. Since conjugate substitution proceeds under mild conditions, the reaction is compatible to other nucleophilic reactions. α-(Chloromethyl)acryloyl chloride that can accept both conjugate substitution and acyl substitution was polymerized with dicarbonyl chlorides and bisphenols, resulting in polyacylate with α-(acyloxymethyl)acrylate skeletons. The polycondensation of α-(bromomethyl)acrylate and dithiols was achieved by the combination of conjugate substitution and addition reactions.

触媒設計がカギを握る次世代タイヤ材料
Catalyst Design Holds the Key to the Next-Generation Tire Materials
会田 昭二郎
Shojiro KAITA
<要旨> Due to technology innovations, future direction of mobility will change significantly, such as to electric vehicles (EV)・fuel cell vehicles (FCV) and autonomous vehicles. Following this trend, demand for next generation tires will also diversify. Focusing on “long life / high strength tire”, which is one of the most important tasks for realizing the future mobility society, it is necessary to develop new high value tire materials (e.g., new rubber materials). Here, we will report the creation of two novel polymers using our “novel polymerization catalyst”, a new isoprene rubber with precise molecular structure and a polymer having rubber and resin at a molecular level for the first time.

多成分連結反応を活用した高分子合成
Polymer Synthesis with Multi-Component Reactions
覚知 亮平
Ryohei KAKUCHI
<要旨> This manuscript highlights a new stream in polymer chemistry, which is essentially taking advantage of the synthetic utility of multi-component reactions (MCRs). For example, the author has been showing the synthetic benefits of the Kabachnik-Fields (KF) reaction. The KF reaction was dicoverd in 1950s and refers to the reaction among amines, aldehydes, and phosphonates to afford the corresponding α-aminophosphonate esters. Despite the fruitful features of the KF reaction, the KF reaction had not been incorporated into polymer science until very recently. The author has merged the KF reaction as an elementary reaction in polymer science, with which facile post polymerization functionalization and a step growth polymerization were realized to access a wide range of polymeric α-aminophosphonate esters.

リビングアニオン重合~新規モノマーの開拓
Living Anionic Polymerization~Development of New Monomers
石曽根 隆・後関 頼太
Takashi ISHIZONE, Raita GOSEKI
<要旨> The living anionic polymerization is a promising way for synthesis of well-defined polymers since discovered by Szwarc in 1956. Recently, intrigued chain-end functionalized polymers and architectural polymers such as multiblock copolymer, star-shaped polymer, and graft polymer are also synthesized precisely by taking advantage of “living” nature of the chain-end anion. Nowadays, a wide variety of monomers can be utilized for the living anionic polymerization, although there has been a limit in the anionic polymerizable monomer due to the high reactivity of the anionic species. Recent progress on the new initiator systems, suitable design of monomer structures, and effective stabilization of the propagating anion with additives enables to significantly expand the range of monomers. Those novel designed attractive monomers include divinylbenzenes, adamantane containing vinyl monomers, exomethylene monomers, functional (meth)acrylates, (meth)acrylamides, and cyclic monomers. In this review, we highlight recent advances of the living anionic polymerization, particularly recent developed monomers showing anionic polymerizability.
