Bisphenol Monomer 7. To a stirred solution of 6 (1.394 g,
3.50 mmol) in acetic acid (160 mL) was added 48% HBr (12 mL).
The solution was heated to 160 °C for 16 h. Then the solution was
poured in ice to give a white precipitate that was filtered and washed
with water. The desired product 7 was obtained as a white powder
after purification by recrystallization from toluene (1.16 g, 90% yield).

Bismethoxy Oligomer 8. A mixture of 5 (0.926 g, 2.50 mmol),
Cs2CO3 (1.955 g, 6.00 mmol), 4-bromanisole (1.402 g, 7.50 mmol),
and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione (0.921 g, 5.00 mmol) were
stirred in NMP (7.5 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. After 30 min,
CuCl (0.500 g, 5.00 mmol) was added and the mixture was degassed,
filled with nitrogen and heated to 170 °C. After 22 h, the solution was
diluted with diethyl ether and filtered through Celite. The filtrate was
washed with water, dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and evapo-
rated. The resulting brown solid was stirred in methanol to afford the
desired oligomer 8 that was isolated by filtration (1.01 g, 70% yield).

Polymer 13. A mixture of potassium carbonate (0.345 g, 2.50 mmol),
5 (0.370 g, 1.00 mmol) and 1 (0.304 g, 1.00 mmol) was suspended in
DMSO (3 mL) and toluene (10 mL) in a two-necked flask fitted with
a nitrogen gas inlet, a Dean−Stark trap, a condenser and a calcium
chloride guard. Water was removed by azeotropic distillation with
toluene maintaining a reflux temperature of 140 °C for 4 h. Then,
toluene was removed and the reaction temperature was increased to
160 °C. After 4 h the viscous mixture was cooled and poured into
2-propanol. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with water and
dried. The solid was dissolved in DMSO and precipitated from 2-propanol
to give 13 as a powder that was dried in a vacuum oven at 80 °C.

Polymer 16. A mixture of potassium carbonate (0.207 g, 1.50 mmol),
9 (0.388 g, 0.70 mmol) and 3 (0.344 g, 0.70 mmol) was suspended in
DMAc (3 mL) and toluene (10 mL) in a two-necked flask fitted with a
nitrogen gas inlet, a Dean−Stark trap, a condenser and a calcium
chloride guard. Water was removed by azeotropic distillation with
toluene maintaining a reflux temperature of 140 °C for 4 h. Then
toluene was removed and the reaction temperature was increased to
165 °C. After 22 h the viscous mixture was cooled and poured in
2-propanol. After the purification procedure described above, 16 was
recovered as a powder.
Bisphenol Monomer 12. A suspension of 10 (0.848 g, 1.40 mmol)
in chloroform (160 mL) was cooled in an ice bath. Then, mCPBA
(2.390 g, 10.00 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid (5 mL) were added
successively. The mixture was left to warm up to room temperature
and was vigorously stirred in the dark for 72 h. The reaction was then
quenched by addition of a saturated solution of NaHSO3. The organic
layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and water. It was
dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced
pressure to give 11 as a white powder. Oligomer 11 was stirred in a
0.1 M solution of KOH in methanol (200 mL) under reflux condition
for 90 min. Then the solvent was removed and the resulting residue
was suspended in 1 M HCl. The desired bisphenol monomer 12 was
isolated by filtration and was purified by adding 2-propanol to a DMF
solution until a precipitate was formed. The solid was dissolved by
heating and recrystallization from DMF and 2-propanol afforded 12 as
a white powder.
