Abstract
A new triphenylamine-containing diamine monomer, 4,4‘-diamino-3‘ ‘,4‘ ‘-dimethyltriphenylamine (DADT), was successfully synthesized by the cesium fluoride-mediated condensation of 3,4-dimethylaniline with 4-fluoronitrobenzene, followed by reduction. The monomer was reacted with various aromatic dicarboxylic acids and tetracarboxylic dianhydrides to produce a series of novel polyamides and polyimides, respectively. A new triphenylamine-containing dicarboxylic acid monomer, 4,4‘-trimellitimido-3‘ ‘,4‘ ‘-dimethyltriphenylamine (TDT), was successfully synthesized by refluxing the diamine, DADT, with trimellitic anhydride in glacial acetic anhydride. A series of new poly(amide−imide)s were prepared from TDT with various diamines by the direct polycondensation. The polymers were obtained in quantitative yields with inherent viscosities of 0.61−2.28 dL g-1. Most of the polymers dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, pyridine, and cyclohexanone. Th...
