Co-polymerization reactions of ethylene with cyclic olefins, such as norbornene and cyclopentene as well as with 1, 5-or 1, 6-dienes that undergo cyclization during the polymer growth, produce hydrocarbon polymers with five-or sixmembered cyclic units that are located randomly.[1] These reactions that use a co-monomer with a functional group and are catalyzed by late-transition-metal complexes provide a steady route to functionalized polyethylenes. The reaction using ethyl 5-norbornene-2-carboxylate catalyzed by a Ni complex affords polyethylene with the CO2Et groups located randomly,[2] whereas an alternating co-polymerization of ethylene with 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylenecyclopropane catalyzed by a cobalt complex yields a polymer with C6H4OMe groups.[3] Recently, we have succeeded in the random co-polymerization of ethylene with isopropylidene diallylmalonate, and obtained a polymer with five-membered cyclic units with ester groups.[4] Although the above random co-polymerization could regulate the averaged densities of the functional group along the polymer chain by changing the molar ratio of the two monomers used, it is not suited for the precise design of the polymer structure. Herein, we report that 1, 6-dienes with both terminal and internal C= C bonds undergo a Pd-complex-promoted cyclopolymerization accompanied by the chain walking of the growing polymer,[5, 6] and afford polymers with (CH2) n spacers of the desired length between the functionalized five-membered rings. The four Pd complexes 1a–1d were used as the precursors of the catalysts used in this study (Figure1). A catalyst prepared from 1a and sodium tetrakis (3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl) borate)(NaBArF4) initiates the cyclopolymerization of isopropylidene allyl (crotyl) malonate (I-1) at room temperature to produce the polymer-(CH2-C5H6 (C5H6O4)-CH2CH2) m-(poly-I-1), as shown in Equation (1) and Table 1 (entry 1). Figure 2a shows the 13C {1H} NMR spectrum of the polymer. Signals of the CH and CH2 carbon atoms in the fivemembered ring appear at δ= 46.9 and 45.8 ppm, respectively,
