Abstract
The large scale synthesis of isomerically pure (3R)- and (3S)-3-methylcyclopentene (MCP) via diene metathesis cyclization of (-) and (+)-β-citronellene, respectively, is achieved. Ring opening metathesis polymerization of (3R)- and (3S)-3-MCP yields polymers with high optical rotatory power
