This invention relates to the field of polymers and olefin polymerization, and more specifically olefin metathesis polymerization. Specifically, the present invention provides a polymer comprising rigorously alternating AB subunits and methods of formation of the AB alternating polymers. In the polymers and process of the invention, the A monomer is derived from a cyclobutene derivative, and the B monomer is derived from a cyclohexene derivative. The polymerization takes place in the presence of an olefin metathesis catalyst.

Alkene isomerization as an entry to efficient alternating ring-opening metathesis polymerization (i-AROMP)

The invention relates to the field of polymers and olefin polymerization, and more specifically olefin metathesis polymerization. The invention provides regioregular alternating polymers and methods of synthesizing such polymers. To demonstrate, polymers were synthesized and modified with a FRET pair (Trp/Dansyl) post-polymerization.

Alternating ring-opening metathesis polymerization

The invention relates to the field of polymers and olefin polymerization, and more specifically olefin metathesis polymerization. The invention provides regioregular alternating polymers and methods of synthesizing such polymers.

The invention relates to stereoregular ROMP polymers, the monomers used to make them, and the processes used to convert the monomers to the polymers. 

Stereoregular ROMP polymers

The invention relates to intermediate compounds of the formula wherein Ris H or a protecting group, Rand Reach independently represent H, methyl, or a leaving group, provided that at least one, but not both, of Rand Ris a leaving group. The intermediate compounds are useful for the synthesis of discodermolide, its derivatives, and related compounds.
