Abstract
Novel chiral and achiral N-propargylphosphonamidate monomers [HC=CCH 2NH(P-O)R1R2,where 1: R1=CH 3,R2=NHC(CH3)3 2: R 1=CH3,R2 =NHC5H9 3:R 1=OPh,R2=NHC(CH3)3, 4:R 1=R2=OPh] were synthesized by successive condensation in order to study the helical conformation properties of N-phosphonamidates. One diastereomer was successfully separated from the other in the cases of monomer 1-3(named 1a-3a) according to the single peak in the 31P NMR spectra. Polymerizations of the monomers 1-4 were carried out with (nbd)Rh +[η 6-C6H5B-(C 6H5)3] as catalyst in CHCl3 yielding the polymers with number-average molecular weights of 1300-22400. Poly(1a)-poly(3a) and poly(4) were characterized by UV and CD spectroscopy. Poly(1a)- poly(3a) showed an intense positive CD signal at 325 nm based on the conjugated polyacetylene backbone while poly(4) showed no peak there, indicating that the polymers had a helical structure with predominantly one-handed screw sense because of P-chiral centre sole contribution.
