Palladium/Benzoic Acid-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Polymerization of Internal Diynes and Diols through C(sp³)–H Activation

The C-H activation has been a hot research area in organic chemistry, and the most difficult one is the C(sp3)-H activation. Although the C-H activation has been introduced to the research of synthetic polymer chemistry, the polymerization developed based on C(sp3)-H activation is rarely reported, which will enrich the tools for the preparation of functional polymers. In this work, palladium/benzoic acid catalyzed polymerization of internal...
