Chapter 26, Problem 26.33P

When certain cycloalkenes are used in metathesis reactions, ring-opening

metathesis polymerization(ROMP) occurs to form a high molecular weight polymer, as shown with cyclopentene as the starting material. The reaction is driven to completion by relief of strain in the cycloalkene.

metathesis , example 2 b. c.

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.
