Liquid-crystalline behaviour of 4-(ω-aminoalkyloxy)-4′-cyanobiphenyls and their side chain epoxy polymers

Abstract

Liquid-crystalline side chain polymers were obtained from the ring-opening reaction of epoxy resin with mesogenic amines, 4-(ω-aminoalkyloxy)-4′-cyanobiphenyl. The amines with the alkyl group ranging from five to nine methylene units were synthesized, and were found to exhibit an enantiotropic nematic phase. Polymerization of these amines with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether at 100°C yielded the polymers of low glass transition and melting temperatures. The mesomorphic properties of the amines and the resulting epoxy polymers are reported.     

Flame retardant epoxy polymers based on all phosphorus-containing components

A phosphorus-containing epoxy resin, bis(3-t-butyl-4-glycidyloxyphenyl-2,4-di-t-butylphenyl)resorcinol diphosphate, was synthesized and subsequently cured with non-phosphorus containing amines, and/or novel phosphorus-containing aromatic or polyoxyalkylene amines. Chemical structures of these materials were characterized with FTIR, NMR, elemental analysis, and amine titration. The introduction of soft -P-O- linkage, polyoxyalkyene, or hard aromatic group into the backbones of the synthesized phosphorus-containing amines provides epoxy polymers with high phosphorus contents and tailored flexibility. Thermal analysis of differential scanning calorimeter and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) reveals that these resulted epoxy polymers possess moderate T_gs and thermal stability. Furthermore, high char yields in TGA analysis and high limited oxygen index values indicate that these phosphorus-containing epoxy polymers possess excellent flame retardant properties.     

Synthesis of 4-(4-Alkyl-2-morpholinyl)indoles

N-substituted 4-(2-morpholinyl)indoles were prepared from 1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-4-acetylindole (7) which was itself prepared from 4-cyanoindole. Bromination of ketone 7, followed by reaction with amines and subsequent sodium borohydride reduction, gave amino alcohols. These were converted to α-chloro amides that were cyclized to lactams. Lithium aluminum hydride reduction served both to remove the t-BOC protecting group and to reduce the lactams to the 4-(2-morpholinyl) indoles.     

Dielectric Properties of 4-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy)- and 4-Propoxy-4'-alkoxyazoxybenzenes

The temperature dependences of the dielectric permittivity of 4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-4'-alkoxyazoxybenzenes (n = 1-10) and 4-propoxy-4'-alkoxyazoxybenzenes (n = 1-10) with mesomorphic properties were measured by dielectrometry. The introductrion of the terminal epoxy group increases the dielectric permittivity and its anisotropy. The dipole moments of molecules of 4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-4'-alkoxyazoxybenzenes (n = 1-10) and 4-propoxy-4'-alkoxyazoxybenzenes (n = 1-10) were determined by the second Debye method. The epoxy-substituted azoxybenzenes have higher dipole moments than their structural analogs.

The reaction of nitroindoles with chlorosulfonic acid in the presence of sodium sulfate was used to synthesize 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-nitroindole-3-sulfonyl chlorides. Under the influence of ammonia and several amines these compounds were convened to nitroindole-3-sulfonamides which were reduced with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of Raney nickel to the corresponding amines.See [1] for Communication 135.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1341–1345, October, 1990.

Polymers from 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)phthalazin-1-one

2-(4′-Hydroxyphenylbenzoyl)benzoic acid is readily available from phenolphthalein by reaction with hydroxylamine. On treatment with hydrazine, 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)phthalazin-1-one is formed in high yield. Under conditions conventionally used for the synthesis of poly(aryl ether)s the phthalazinone reacts with 4,4-difluorobenzophenone or 4,4′-difluorodiphenyl sulfone to yield high molecular weight linear polymers which are thermooxidatively stable and have Tg's approaching 300°C. The phthalazinone NH groups behave like phenolic OH groups and the resulting polymers contain O-C and N-C linkages. Phenyl-substituted phenolphthaleins have also been synthesized and converted to the corresponding phthalazinone polymers.

Synthesis and characterization of thermally stable poly(ether-azomethine)s derived from 1,1-bis[4-(4-benzaldehyde oxy)-3-methyl phenyl] cyclopentane

A new dialdehyde 1,1-bis[4-(4-benzaldehyde oxy)-3-methyl phenyl] cyclopentane (BBMPC) was synthesized starting from cyclopentanone and O-cresol to give 1,1-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methyl phenyl)cyclopentane (BHMPC); followed by reaction with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde in N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF), containing anhydrous potassium carbonate. New series of poly(ether-azomethine)s were synthesized from (BBMPC) with different diamines such as 4,4′- diamino diphenyl ether (ODA); 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane (MDA); 4-aminophenyl sulfone (SDA); p-phenylene diamines (p-PDA), etc. in N, N’- dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) with 5 wt% LiCl by the solution polycondensation method. Inherent viscosities of these polymers were in the range 0.20 to 0.38 dL/g indicating formation of moderate molecular weights. These polymers exhibited good solubility in various polar aprotic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), DMAc, DMF, etc. However some polymers showed partial solubility in DMF and DMAc. X-Ray diffraction pattern of polymers showed amorphous nature. Thermal stability was assessed by 10% weight loss temperature and the degradation temperature of the resultant polymers falls in the ranges from 444-501°C in nitrogen. The glass transition temperature was in the range of 155-205°C. The structure-property correlation among these polyazomethines were studied; in view of their potential applications as high performance polymers.

A novel copolymer containing chiral epoxy residues was prepared. Free radical initiated suspension copolymerization of (R)- or (S)-glycidyl methacrylate with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate afforded crosslinked copolymer 1 in high yield. Optically active polymers containing amino alcohol functionalities were then formed from 1 through epoxide ring opening with a number of achiral and homochiral amines. It was shown that ruthenium complexes based on these new polymeric amino alcohol ligands were effective catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogen transfer reduction of acetophenone.     

Synthesis of novel 6-(substituted amino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinones via azo coupling

Abstract  

6-(Substituted amino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinones were prepared from β-aryl glutaconic acid, which, on fusion with aniline, results in 4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenylpyridine-2,6(1H,5H)-dione. This, on further treatment with phosphorus oxychloride gave 6-chloro-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinone, and further treatment with secondary amines yielded 6-(substituted amino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinones. These were subjected to azo coupling with different aryldiazonium chlorides furnishing two isomers, which were separated by column chromatography. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, and use of IR and NMR spectral data, and were evaluated for antimicrobial activity.

Reaction of 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole with primary amines. Synthesis of 4-substituted-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazoles

Reaction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole ( 1a ) with primary amines under a variety of conditions conveniently produced 4-substituted-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1.2,4-triazoles 4a in 26-85% yield. Alkyl amines reacted with 1a in methanol at ?42° to provide hydrogen-bonded monoadduct-methanol complexes 5a , as determined by X-ray. The reaction of 1a with sterically hindered or strongly electron deficient anilines required high temperatures in the absence of solvent.     

High Tg and high organosolubility of novel polyimides containing twisted structures derived from 4-(4-amino-2-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-aminophenoxy)-2,6-di-tert-butylbenzene

A series of new polyimides (PIs) containing di-tert-butyl side groups were synthesized via the polycondensation of 4-(4-amino-2-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-aminophenoxy)-2,6-di-tert-butylbenzene (3) with various aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides. The introduction of the asymmetric di-tert-butyl groups and twisted-biphenyl structures is an effective way to increase the inter chain distance and decrease the intermolecular interaction and packing ability of the resulted polymers. Thus, these novel PIs exhibited low dielectric constants (2.83-3.10), low moisture absorption (0.95-1.69%), excellent solubility, and high glass transition temperatures (307-456 °C). The PIs derived from the new diamine and the rigid pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) were soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofuran, m-cresol, and cyclohexanone. The polymers also show good retention of storage modulus at high temperature (325 °C). In addition, ¹H NMR spectrum of the diamine 3 revealed that the protons of 4-aminophenoxy moiety are not chemical shift equivalent.
