Abstract
A new synthetic method for bifunctional oligoetherols with carbazole ring was presented. 9-(2,3-Epoxypropyl)carbazole was obtained from carbazole and epichlorohydrine. The epoxide ring opening occurred upon the consecutive reaction with ethylene glycol to give the semiproduct well soluble in ethylene oxide and propylene oxide and reactive toward these epoxides at temperatures above 60–90°C to form oligoetherols. Structure of these oligoetherols and their physical properties and application for synthesis of linear polyurethanes were studied in details. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
