Notes:
The syntheses of four new monomers and two new polyaromatic pyrazines are described. The monomers; bis-p,p′-(octanoyl)diphenyl ether (Ia), bis-p,p′-(hexadecanoyl)diphenyl ether (Ib), bis-p,p′-(α-bromooctanoyl)diphenyl ether (IIa), and bis-p,p′-(α-bromohexadecanoyl)diphenyl ether (IIb), were produced by Friedel-Crafts acylation of diphenyl ether with the corresponding acyl chloride and subsequent α-bromination. Prepolymers were synthesized by the condensation of (IIa) and (IIb) with ammonia in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and polymers were prepared by subsequent melt condensation of the prepolymer to produce poly[2,5-(oxydiphenylene)-3,6-(dihexyl)pyrazine] (IIIa), and poly[2,5-(oxydiphenylene)-3,6-(ditetradecyl)pyrazine] (IIIb). Polymer IIIa was thermally (stable at 〉400°C while polymer IIIb was a tacky substance). The inherent viscosity of IIIa produced by 12 hr of melt condensation was 0.30 dl/g in formic acid. Additional heating in excess of 24 hr gave a slightly soluble polymer. The inherent viscosity of IIIb produced by 40 hr of melt condensation was 0.37 dl/g in formic acid.
