Abstract

AbstractSix new poly(amid‐imide)s containing chalchone and hydantoin moieties in the main chain were synthesized through the polycondensation reaction of 1,3‐bis[4,4′‐bis(trimellityimido)phenyl]‐2‐propenone 6 with six hydantoin derivatives 7a‐f in a medium consisting of triphenyl phosphite, calcium chloride, pyridine, and N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone. The polycondensation reaction produced a series of novel poly(amid‐imide)s 8a‐f in high yields with inherent viscosities between 0.26 and 0.42 dL/g. The resulting polymers were characterized by elemental analysis, viscosity measurements, solubility test, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA and DTG), FTIR, and UV‐Vis spectroscopy. 1,3‐bis[4,4′‐bis(trimellityimido)phenyl]‐2‐propenone 6 was prepared from a three‐step reaction by using 4‐nitro benzaldehyde 1 and 4‐nitro acetophenone 2 as precursors. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
