Since its development and commercialization in the 1970’s, Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) has been used to polymerize strained cycloalkenes derived from hydrocarbon precursors, most commonly strained [2.2.1]-bicyclic precursors such as dicyclopentadiene. Polymerization of related bicyclic scaffolds that contain heteroatoms (N, O) remains underexplored. We sought to evaluate polymerization efficiency of strained cyclic monomers containing a [2.2.2]-diazabicyclic motif. This method has the potential to create polymers with access to additional polar functionalities unavailable to those containing only hydrocarbon.
