Poly(aryl ether) Synthesis

Poly(ether ether ketone)s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone)s containing cardo decahydronaphthalene groups: Synthesis and characterization

“…[1][2][3][4] Therefore, PEEKs and PEEKKs are currently receiving considerable attention for potential applications in aviation, automobile manufacturing, electronic/electrical, medical care, fuel cell, gas separation, and food processing sectors. PEEKs and PEEKKs can be prepared via electrophilic or nucleophilic substitution reaction.…”

“…PEEKs and PEEKKs can be prepared via electrophilic or nucleophilic substitution reaction. 2,3 The electrophilic route using FriedelCrafts acylation reaction has some limitations because of mechanistic problems. The nucleophilic route has been the most commonly used method to prepare PEEKs and PEEKKs which involves generation of an ether linkage by nucleophilic aromatic substitution as a polymer forming reaction and uses dihalide monomers in which the carbonyl group serves as the activating moiety.…”

Synthesis of Natural Products on Solid Phases via Copper‐Mediated Coupling: Synthesis of the Aristogin Family, Spiraformin A, and Hernandial

“…Diaryl ethers are important lead structures because, on the one hand, they form polymers that are under investigation such as thermoplasts [1] and because, on the other hand, diaryl ethers are a common motif in many natural products like vancomycin, [2][3][4] teicoplanin [5] and piperazinomycin. [6][7] Natural products bearing a diaryl ether moiety can be classified into acyclic and cyclic.…”

Poly(aryl ether sulfide)s by sulfide-activated nucleophilic aromatic substitution polymerization

“…Hedrick has investigated numerous electron withdrawing heterocylic and other groups to activate aryl fluorides for substitution by phenoxide nucleophiles [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. DeSimone has researched poly(aryl ether)s with kinks in the polymer chain from 2,5-thiophene units in the monomers [38][39][40][41].…”
