Ring-opening olefin metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a powerful tool for the synthesis of highly functionalized polymers.[1] The first well-defined ROMP catalyst systems based on titanium,[2] molybdenum, and tungsten [3] exhibited relatively low tolerance toward functional groups. This low tolerance could be exploited in the end-functionalization of metathesis polymers. The high oxophilicity of the metal centers made end functionalization possible by addition of aldehydes to the polymerization mixture.[4] Late-transitionmetal catalysts based on ruthenium [5] do not allow for olefin metathesis functionalization with aldehydes. Nonetheless, several pathways have been described in the literature for the end functionalization of ruthenium-catalyzed metathesis polymers.The most common method of terminating a ruthenium carbene at the chain end of a polymer is achieved by adding ethyl vinyl ether.[6] A methylene group is transferred onto the polymer while cleaving the catalyst off the polymer chain end at the same time. It could be shown that the cleaved-off Fischer-type carbene can undergo further olefin metathesis reactions under certain conditions.[7] For most polymer synthetic applications, however, this species can be regarded as inactive. In the presence of vinyl sulfides it could be shown that such “Fischer carbenes” react as chain-transfer agents to yield monofunctional polymers.[8] The polymers that were prepared in this way show broad polydispersity indices (PDI between 1.3 and 3).
