One of the butadiene dimeri2ation products, COD, is commercially manufactured and used as an intermediate in a process called FEAST to produce linear a,C0-dienes (153). COD or cyclooctene [931-87-3], obtained from partial hydrogenation, is metathesi2ed with ethylene to produce 1,5-hexadiene [592-42-7] or 1,9-decadiene [1647-16-1], respectively. Many variations to make other diolefins have been demonstrated. Huls AG also metathesi2ed cyclooctene with itself to produce an elastomer useful in mbber blending (154). The cycHc cis,trans,trans-tn.en.e described above can be hydrogenated and oxidi2ed to manufacture dodecanedioic acid [693-23-2]. The product was used in the past for the production of the specialty nylon-6,12, Qiana (155,156).

A potential drawback of all the routes discussed thus far is that there is little control over polydispersity and molecular weight of the resultant polymer. Ringopening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a living polymerization method and, in theory, affords materials with low polydispersities and predictable molecular weights. This methodology has been applied to the synthesis of polyacctylcne by Feast [23], and has recently been exploited in the synthesis of PPV. Bicyclic monomer 12 [24] and cyclophane 13 [25) afford well-defined precursor polymers which may be converted into PPV 1 by thermal elimination as described in Scheme 1-4.
