Preparation of Poly(ether ketone) Dendrimers, Dendrons, and Hyperbranched Polymers by Using Aromatic Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions

Modern Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

Comparison of Properties among Dendritic and Hyperbranched Poly(ether ether ketone)s and Linear Poly(ether ketone)s.

Poly(ether ether ketone) dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers were prepared from 3,5-dimethoxy-4'-(4-fluorobenzoyl)diphenyl ether and 3,5-dihydroxy-4'-(4-fluorobenzoyl)diphenyl ether through aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions. 1-(tert-Butyldimethylsiloxy)-3,5-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene was polycondensed with bisphenols, followed by cleavage of the protective group to form linear pol...

Aromatic Hyperbranched Polymers: Synthesis and Application

Hyperbranched (hb) polymers have been receiving increasing attention because of their unique architecture that results in an interesting set of unusual chemical and physical properties. Over the past decade quite a number of excellent reviews on hb polymers have been published by different research groups, covering various aspects of this class of polymers. This review will highlight the work o...

Mechanisms of Light Energy Harvesting in Dendrimers and Hyperbranched Polymers

Since their earliest synthesis, much interest has arisen in the use of dendritic and structurally allied forms of polymer for light energy harvesting, especially as organic adjuncts for solar energy devices. With the facility to accommodate a proliferation of antenna chromophores, such materials can capture and channel light energy with a high degree of efficiency, each polymer unit potentially...

Transetherification of 2,4-dimethoxynitrobenzene by aromatic nucleophilic substitution

In view of the few reports concerning aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions featuring an alkoxy group as a leaving group, the aromatic nucleophilic substitution of 2,4-dimethoxynitrobenzene was investigated with a bulky t-butoxide nucleophile under microwave irradiation. The transetherification of 2,4-dimethoxynitrobenezene with sodium t-butoxide under specific conditions, namely for 20 ...
