Summary
A test of the proposed mechanism of polymerization of acetylenes by metal carbene compounds was carried out. Using the Re(CO)5Cl/C2H5AlCl2 olefin metathesis catalyst, the metathesis of 1,7-octadiene was interrupted by the addition of phenylacetylene. The polymer isolated contained the required C7 fragment of the 1,7-octadiene as the end group on polyphenylacetylene.
