Iterative synthesis of heterotelechelic oligo(phenylene-vinylene)s by olefin cross-metathesis.
A novel iterative synthesis of heterotelechelic oligo(phenylene-vinylene)s using olefin cross-metathesis is reported. The metathesis homologation proceeds in good yields and allows for further functionalization, including the facile formation of donor-acceptor complexes and repeating sequence copolymers.
