Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) has always held interest due to the ability to generate unsaturated polymers. The development of well-defined alkylidene compounds that are both tolerant of a wide variety of functional groups and provide a living initia-tor for polymerization of strained olefins has spawned further growth in this field. 1 We have been interested in ROMP of 3, 4-disubstituted cyclobutenes that yield polymers with a very high density of pendant functionalities but are based on the common 1, 4-polybutadiene backbone. Functional groups such as esters, carboxylates, ethers and imides have all been successfully incorporated. The generation of very polar homopoly-mers, block copolymers, and mixtures is demonstrated in this work.A wide variety of highly functionalized cyclobutenes, attractive for the synthesis of polymers via ROMP, were synthesized from the anhydride l, 2 which was made from the photochemical cycloaddition of acetylene and maleic anhydride. From 1 we have synthesized the diethyl ester 2, 3 dimethyl ester 3, 4 dibenzyl ester 4, benzyl imide 5, dimethyl ether 6, dibenzyl ether 7, and the bicyclic tetrahydrofuran 8 (Figure 1). Initial studies showed that all of these cyclobutenes polymerized under the appropriate conditions using the Schrock alkylidene complexes I—III5* 6 as initiators (Figure 1) to form highly functionalized polymers, possessing structures analo-
