Abstract:: ... Two allene derivatives, l- and d-N-(1-(octylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)-4-(propa-1,2-dien-1-yloxy)benzamide (l-1 and d-1), bearing chiral amide pendants were designed and synthesized. Living polymerizations of l-1 and d-1 with allylnickel complex as a catalyst afforded poly-l-1ₘ and poly-d-1ₘ with controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions. These polymers were found to pos ...
