“…The major drawback of the nucleophilic displacement of the PECH chlorine atom is the dehydrochlorination side reaction and the fact that the resulting vinylether units degrade the polymer 31, 38, 39. These competitive reactions related to the basicity of the nucleophile seem to play a significant role for phenolates but are negligible in aromatic carboxylates, as can be seen here.…”

“…The chemical modification of PECH under phase‐transfer catalyst conditions with carboxylates has been used by several researchers,26, 27 but very few studies have focused on obtaining anisotropic materials 28, 29. The fact that the modification degrees in our previous article were good and that no dehydrochlorination30, 31 side reactions were detected encouraged us to use the same strategy and reaction conditions here.…”

“…The materials obtained have shown good liquid crystalline behavior, but modification degrees have been relatively high only when the samples were of low molecular weight. Moreover, chemically modifying the chloromethyl pendant group with basic reagents leads to partial dehydrochlorination and chain‐cleavage side processes,14, 15 which in turn lead to undesired polymer units. The polymerization route has also been considered by several authors.…”
