Polyhomologation: Synthesis of Novel Polymethylene Architectures by a Living Polymerization of Dimethylsulfoxonium Methylide |

| Authors: | Kenneth J Shea Brett B Busch Manuel M Paz |
| Abstract: | Not conventional polymerization of ethylene, but rather the title reaction has allowed access to the ω-functionalized tertiary polymethylene alcohols 1 . The ylide CH2SOMe2 is the methylene source in this living polymerization, and the chain length can be set by the initial ratio of ylide to organoborane. |
