Ng. Pschirer et al., Synthesis and characterization of poly[1,5-(3,7-di-tert-butyl)naphthyleneethynylene] by alkyne metathesis, MACRO RAPID, 21(8), 2000, pp. 493-495
Communication: The synthesis and structural characterization of the novel p
olynaphthylene-ethynylene system is reported. The polymer, poly[1,5-(3,7-di
-tert-butyl)naphthyleneethynylene] was obtained by efficient alkyne metathe
sis of 1,5-dipropynyl-3,7-di-tert-butylnaphthalene, which itself is availab
le in three steps starting from naphthtalene.
