Sugar-based isohexides can be modified to prepare a library of isohexide-diene monomers for polymerization. Such isohexide diene monomers can be subjected to Acyclic Diene Metathesis Polymerization to obtain green materials. Here we report a single step synthetic protocol to access a small family of isohexide-di(ether-ene)s and the corresponding polymers. The isohexide di(ether-ene)s 2a-2c could be isolated in good to excellent yields under optimized conditions. The resultant isohexide-di(ether-ene)s 2a-2c are potential versatile building blocks for pharmaceuticals and material science. The synthetic utility of 2a-2c was demonstrated by subjecting them to ADMET polymerization using Grubbs 1st and 2nd generation catalysts. The resultant viscous material was evaluated using 1H NMR and MALDI-ToF-MS, which suggests the formation of anticipated ADMET polymers1 aRajput, Bhausaheb, S.1 aLekshmy, Kalpakasseril, Girija1 aMenon, Shamal, K.1 aChikkali, Samir, H.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-isohexide-diether-enes-and-admet-polymerization
