Abstract

Amino acid‐derived novel norbornene monomers were synthesized and polymerized with ruthenium catalysts. The polymerization rates were affected by the stereo structure of the monomers; exo,exo‐NBL underwent ROMP faster to give the polymers in higher yields than the endo,exo‐counterpart. The Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst was the most effective for the amino acid‐based monomers. A polymer gel was synthesized by the copolymerization of exo,exo‐NBL with 2.5 mol‐% of bifunctional norbornene monomer. The gel adsorbed larger amounts of (R)‐phenylalaninol and N‐(benzyloxycarbonyl)alanine than those of the (S)‐isomers.
