Direct Introduction of Primary Amine into Nonpolar Polyolefins Mediated by a New Metallocene IFZ Catalyst. A New Synthetic Approach for One-pot Synthesis of Allyl Amine-capped Polyolefins

We report on the first example of metallocene-catalyzed allyl amine incorporation having only one CH2 chain spacer into the nonpolar polymer backbone using new metallocene 1 and methylaluminoxane with high activity at high temperature. This is the first example of predominant chain end site-selective introduction of amine group into the polyolefins.
