Notes:
Aromatic bispropenyl ethers are a new class of highly reactive thermosetting monomers that have been prepared and characterized. Two synthetic routes to their preparation have been developed. The first of these involves the base-catalyzed isomerization of bisallyl ether precursors that gives predominantly the Z bispropenyl ether isomers. The second method employs tris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) dichloride as an isomerization catalyst and produces predominantly the E isomers. Using these methods, a number of bispropenyl ether monomers containing different aromatic groups have been synthesized. The cationic polymerization of these novel monomers to give crosslinked network polymers using diaryliodonium salts as photo and thermal initiators has been studied.
