Reaction Steps

FIG. 2 is a flow diagram showing the steps of synthesizing a representative monomer 1M according to the present invention. In a 50 ml of bi-neck bottle, 3.28 g of hydroquinone, 1.96 g of potassium hydroxide, 0.50 g of potassium iodide, 10.0 ml of methanol and 20.0 ml of ethanol are introduced and mixed. 3.00 g of 11-tolylsulfonyloxy-1-undecene is dropped slowly into the bottle and the resulting mixture is subsequently heated to the boiling point thereof. After the solvent is distillated off, 100.0 ml of cold water is added and 6N HCl is dropped until the mixture becomes acidic. Then the resulting mixture is subjected to extraction using ether. The organic layer is subjected to dehydration using magnesium sulfate, filtration, concentration and further purification with silica gel column chromatography, thereby obtaining a white solid product, 4-(10-undecenoxy)phenol.
