FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: catalysts for metathesis polymerisation of dicyclopentadiene are described, which are represented by [1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene]dichloro(o-N,N-diethylaminomethylphenylmethylene)ruthenium of formula (1) or [1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene]dichloro(o-N-pyrrolidinylmethylphenylmethylene)ruthenium of formula (2) . A method is described for producing a catalyst of formula (1), involving successively reacting a first generation Grubb catalyst with 1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-trichloromethylimidazolidine and N,N-diethyl-(2-vinylbenzyl)amine in an inert atmosphere at temperature between 40 and 70°C in the presence of a solvent. In another version of the said method, a second generation Grubb catalyst is reacted with N,N-diethyl-(2-vinylbenzyl)amine in an inert atmosphere at temperature between 40 and 70°C in the presence of a solvent. A method is described for producing a catalyst of formula (2), involving successively reacting a first generation Grubb catalyst with 1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-trichloromethylimidazolidine and 1-(2-vinylbenzyl)pyrrolidine in an inert atmosphere at temperature between 40 and 70°C in the presence of a solvent. In another version of the method, a second generation Grubb catalyst is reacted with 1-(2-vinylbenzyl)pyrrolidine in an inert atmosphere at temperature between 40 and 70°C in the presence of a solvent. A method is described for metathesis polymerisation of dicyclopentadiene, involving polymerisation using catalysts of formulae (1) or (2) in molar ratio monomer:catalyst ranging from 70000:1 to 100000:1.

EFFECT: increased output of catalyst and simpler synthesis due to less number of stages, obtaining polydicyclopentadiene with good application properties with low catalyst consumption.
