Abstract
Organoboron polymers consisting of carbon-boron bonds in the main chains were prepared by hydroboration polymerization of various dienes with thexylborane. These polymers were reacted with α-furyllithium followed by treatment with acetic acid to give the corresponding poly(alcohol)s. This conversion includes the migrations of two polymeric main chains from boron atom to carbon and the reductive cleavage of carbon-boron bonds in the resulting boron-containing polymers. The structures of the poly(alcohol)s obtained were characterized by 1 H-NMR in comparison with that of model compound, which was prepared by the reaction of dioctylthexylborane with α-furyllithium followed by reductive treatment
