Abstract:A new optically active diacid (DA) was prepared by nucleophilic substitution reaction of R-(À)-mandelic acid with terephthaloyl chloride in the presence of potassium hydroxide. This DA named terephthalic acid bis(carboxyphenylmethyl) ester was used as a monomer for the preparation of related optically active polyesters. Polycondensation of DA with different aromatic diols, including hydroquinone, 1,5-dihydroxy naphthalene, 1,4-dihydroxy anthraquinone, 1,8-dihydroxy anthraquinone, 2,4-dihydroxy benzophenone, an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
