Dimethylformamide → Terephthalaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A phosphonium salt (A) was synthesized by the reaction of 2,5-diethyl-P-xylylene dibromide with triphenylphosphine in an N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, and a phosphonium salt (B) was synthesized by the reaction of 2,5-diheptyloxy-p-xylylene dibromide with triphenylphosphine in an N,N-dimethylformamide solvent. The obtained two phosphonium salts (A) (4.1 parts by weight) and (B) (1.0 part by weight) and terephthalaldehyde (0.8 parts by weight) were dissolved in ethyl alcohol. For a 3-hour polymerization, an ethyl alcohol solution containing 0.8 parts by weight of lithium ethoxide was added dropwise to an ethyl alcohol solution of the phosphonium salts and dialdehyde at room temperature. After allowed to stand alone at room temperature overnight, the precipitate was filtered out, washec. with ethyl alcohol, and dissolved in chloroform, to which ethanol was added for re-precipitation. The obtained product was dried under reduced pressure to obtain 0.35 parts by weight of the end polymer. This is called a polymeric fluorescent substance 1. Set out below are the repeating unit in polymeric fluorescent substance 1 and its molar ratio calculated from the charge ratio of monomers.
