The aqueous ring‐opening metathesis polymerization of the exo ‐Diels‐Alder adduct of furan and maleimide was accomplished using an “activated Ruthenium” catalyst present in the supernatant of a RuCl 3 ‐catalyzed aqueous polymerization of furan‐dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate adduct. The polymer was characterized by solution 1 H− and 13 C‐NMR, IR, DSC, and viscometry. Characterization revealed an intact imide group and the possibility of high‐temperature applications. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
