Abstract
Benzoxazines are a class of phenolic compounds extensively studied in polymer science because of their properties as fiber reinforcements, fire-retardants and curing agents. In this article is described a solvent-less process, based on a Mannich reaction involving a primary amine and an aldehyde, for the preparation of new benzoxazines deriving from cardanol (a well known phenol obtained as a renewable organic resource and harmful by-product of the cashew industry). Particular attention is given to the synthesis and chemical characterization (both by 1H NMR spectroscopy and HPLC), while the thermal polymerization process has been monitored by differential scanning calorimetry.
