Notes:
A new telechelic polyisobutylene diol, HO—CH2—PIB—CH2—OH, carrying two terminal primary hydroxyl end groups has been prepared from α,ω-di(isobutenyl)polyisobutylene, CH2=C(CH3)- CH2—PIB—CH2C(CH3)=CH2, by regioselective hydroboration followed by alkaline hydrogen peroxide oxidation. Infrared (IR) spectra, 1H-NMR analysis of the pure and silylated products, and ultraviolet (UV) spectra of phenylisocyanate-treated diols indicate quantitative yields and two —CH2OH termini per polyisobutylene chain. The viscosity of HO—CH2—PIB—CH2—OH is higher than that of the starting α,ω-diolefin. The telechelic diol prepolymer opens new avenues to the synthesis of many new materials, e.g., polyurethanes.
