Synthesis and Radical Copolymerization of Novel Phenyl-Disubstituted Propyl Cyanoacrylates-Juniper Publishers
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS- ACADEMIC JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE Abstract Novel phenyl-disubstituted propyl 3-(R-phenyl)-2-cyanoacrylates, RPhCH=C(CN)CO 2 C 3 H 7 (where R is 2-fluoro-5-methyl, 3-iodo-4-methoxy, 5-iodo-2-methoxy, 3,5-dichloro, 3,4-difluoro, 3,5-difluoro, 2-chloro-4-fluoro, 2-chloro-6-fluoro, 3-chloro-2-fluoro, and 3-chloro-4-fluoro) were prepared using condensation of substituted benzoic aldehydes and propyl ester of cyanoacetic acid. The ethynyl benzene copolymerization of novel cyanoacrylates was conducted in solution with radical initiation at 70 C. Nitrogen analysis, 1 H & 13 C NMR was used to analyze composition and the structure. Thermal behavior of the copolymers was analyzed by DSC and TGA.
