Abstract
Poly[2‐(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)‐1,4‐phenylene] (2) was prepared by the Ni‐catalyzed polymerization of tert‐butyl 2,5‐dichlorobenzoate (1). The microstructure of polymer 2 was probably alternating head‐to‐head and tail‐to‐tail. This polymer was soluble in dipolar aprotic solvents, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, and dichloromethane. Polymer 2 was saponified easily by thermal or acid treatment to yield poly[2‐carboxy‐1,4‐phenylene] (3). Decarboxylation of polymer 3 in quinoline in the presence of copper(II) oxide produced poly(p‐phenylene) (PPP) (4).

This paper reports the thermal conversion of the tetrahydrothiophene (THT)-precursor to poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV). Detailed investigations of the conversion process show that the leaving groups THT and HCl do not eliminate simultaneously. Moderate temperatures ( 125 °C) are sufficient to elim
