GENERATION OF ENDO- AND/OR EXO-NORBORNENECARBOXALDEHYDE AS AN INTERMEDIATE TO FUNCTIONALIZED NORBORNENES
摘要
<p>Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide for forming essentially pure diastereomers of 5/6-subst?tuted norbornene -type monomers Further, encompass polymerizing such diastereomers to form addition or ROMP polymers where a desired exo-/endo - ratio of the diastereomers is provided to the polymerization, such ratio designed to provide a desired ratio of endo-/exo- structured repeating units for a resulting polymer to have desired physical or chemical properties</p>
