Abstract

Epoxide-amine oligo-adducts were synthesized via a one-pot microwave assisted heterogeneous catalytic transfer hydrogenation. Accordingly, 4-nitroanisole was reduced under microwave conditions to give 4-aminoanisole which reacted immediately with the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A in an addition polymerization reaction to yield oligo(amino alcohol)s. The hydroxy groups of the new formed oligomers were used as the initiator for the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone to produce a graft copolymer.

Highlights

  • In the last decade the use of microwave (MW) irradiation in organic, pharmaceutical and polymer chemistry has become a well-established technique to promote chemical reactions

  • With regard to our former work on the formation of hyperbranched epoxide-amine adducts via microwave-assisted heterogeneous catalytic transfer hydrogenation [22], we report the synthesis of an linear oligo(amino alcohol)

  • Epoxide-amine adducts based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (1) and 4-aminoanisole (3) were synthesized in a MW-assisted one-pot reaction

Introduction

In the last decade the use of microwave (MW) irradiation in organic, pharmaceutical and polymer chemistry has become a well-established technique to promote chemical reactions. Epoxide-amine oligo-adducts were synthesized via a one-pot microwave assisted heterogeneous catalytic transfer hydrogenation. The hydroxy groups of the new formed oligomers were used as the initiator for the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone to produce a graft copolymer. With regard to our former work on the formation of hyperbranched epoxide-amine adducts via microwave-assisted heterogeneous catalytic transfer hydrogenation [22], we report the synthesis of an linear oligo(amino alcohol).
