Abstract
AbstractThe oxidative polymerization of 2,6‐dimethylphenol (1) and the halogen displacement polymerization of 4‐halo‐2,6‐dimethylphenols (4) yielded poly[oxy(2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene)] (2) with one phenolic end group. 2,2′,6,6′‐Tetramethyl‐4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenol (9a) was used as comonomer in both polymerization reactions to obtain polymer 10a, containing two phenolic end groups. Polymers of different molecular weight were synthesized by variation of the mole ratio of the comonomers. The polymers were characterized by GPC, NMR spectroscopy and end group analysis.
