Synthesis of functionalized p-phenylene oxide oligomers

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087313

Oligomers of p-phenylene oxides have been synthesized by coupling of substituted phenols and aryl bromides in the presence of cuprous chloride. The chain length varies from 2 to 5 phenyl rings functionalized at one end by an OH and OMe group and at the other end by an OH, OMe or NO₂ functions. The oligomers could be used in material science and as building blocks in supramolecular chemistry. Methods for chemoselective demethylation of methoxy groups were developed.
