Abstract

ADMET polymerization has been used for modeling branched polyethylene and functionalized polyolefins. 1-8 Precision results from the selective ADMET reaction of symmetrical α,ω-diene monomers using ruthenium and molybdenum catalysts. The robust nature of the ADMET reaction along with catalyst stability allowed manipulation of the experimental conditions, as for example: temperature and presence or absence of solvents. 5-8 During this presentation, we report the expansion of ADMET's versatility, using microwave irradiation, a technique synonymous of green chemistry and control. 9 Currently, microwave usage is an environmentally friendly and well-developed technique with devices that allow easy and accurate management of energy regulation, much superior than convection heating. 10 Also, microwaves often provide enhancement of the polymerization by increasing reactions rates and decreasing reaction times. 11, 12 In our talk, we share our most recent advances of ADMET chemistry promoted by microwave irradiation. Besides of providing proof-of-concept data, also we determined the best conditions for using microwaves as an alternative of introducing green chemistry to the well-controlled ADMET polymerization.
