Abstract
A norbornene-containing ortho-quinone, 5-{5-(bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enyl)hydroxymethyl)-3,6-ditert-butyl-o-benzoquinone, was synthesized by the nucleophilic addition of 5-(hydroxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1] hept-2-ene to 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone. The structure of the compound was established by the X-ray analysis. The monomer obtained undergoes metathesis polymerization in the presence of Grubbs catalyst of the third generation with the formation of polynorbornene containing quinone fragments in the side chains.
