Outline of Final Research Achievements

A new type of asymmetric polymerization by asymmetric allylic substitution catalyzed by planar-chiral ruthenium complexes was designed. The polymerization systems work in a highly stereoselective manner to afford optically active polymer with high selectivities. Additionally, because the resulting optically active polymers possess one reactive terminal double bond per monomer unit, they can be used for further transformation. The main chain and side chain structure was easily changed by transformation of terminal double bond using ring-closing metathesis and thiol-ene reaction to afford various type of optically active polymer.
