Studies on the Synthesis of Polyarylates with Allylic Side Groups. Part 1. Polyarylates from 2,2-bis (3-allyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane and Isophthaloyl Chloride

Abstract

Conditions of synthesis of diallyl derivatives of bisphenol-A via a Claisen rearrangement reaction and the preparation of polyarylates from these derivatives via interfacial polycondensation with isophthaloyl chloride were established. The structure of polymers was confirmed by the methods of 1 H-NMR, IR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy and elementary analysis. The results of intrinsic viscosity determinations and thermal analysis revealed the high molecular weight and considerable thermal resistance of these polyarylates.
