Synthesis,structure, and properties of isomeric polyaminoacetophenones

In terms of the ability for electrochemical transformations in acidic medium, the reactivity decreases in the order o-aminoacetophenone > p-aminoacetophenone > m-aminoacetophenone > aniline. The products of electrochemical polycondensation of the ortho and para isomers are conductors. Oxidative polycondensation of o-aminoacetophenone forms emeraldin hydrosulfate, and with p- and m-aminoacetophenones, emeraldin and leucoemeraldin are formed. In terms of thermal stability, polyacetoaminophenones can be ranked in the order poly-o-aminoacetophenone > poly-m-aminoacetophenone > poly-p-aminoacetophenone.Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 74, No. 12, 2004, pp. 2012–2018.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Stratan, Kovalchuk, Blazejowski.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.
