A Novel siloxane-containing dicarboxylic acid, 1, 3-bis (p-carboxyphenylene-ester-methylene) tetramethyldisiloxane, and its derivatives: ester macrocycle and …
Abstract The new dicarboxylic acid, 1, 3-bis (p-carboxyphenylene-ester-methylene) tetramethyldisiloxane (H 2 L, 1) was obtained by treating 1, 3-bis (chloromethyl)-1, 1, 3, 3- tetramethyldisiloxane with a mixture of terephthalic acid and terephthalic acid sodium salt in a 1: 1 ratio. In this approach, besides the desired compound 1 (33 wt% yield), the condensation cyclic dimer 2 (7 wt% yield) and an oligomer 3 (10 wt% yield) resulted. The ...
