Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Next, various aromatic dicarboxyic acids (4 mmol), various aromatic diamines (4 mmol), pentamethylbenzene (4 g), N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) (1 g), and 3,4,5-trifluorophenylboric acid (0.04 mmol) were poured into a Schlenk and stirred at 200° C. (temperature of oil bath) for one day. The other conditions were the same as in Example 2. When m-phenylenediamine and isophthalic acid were polycondensed as in chemical formula 2, the isolation yield of nomex was 99% or more. As to the isolation yield of keylar, the same result was obtained for a case of chemical formula 3, where p-phenylenediamine and terephthalic acid were polycondensed. The isolation yield of nomex was 97% for a case of chemical formula 4, where diaminodiphenylether and isophthatic acid were polycondensed. The isolation yield of tellurone was 42% for a case of chemical formula 5, where p-aminobenzoic acid was polycondensed.
