Synthesis of Optically and Redox Active Polyenaminones from Diamines and α,α’-Bis[(dimethylamino)methylidene]cyclohexanediones
New oligo- and polyenaminones with <i>M<sub>w</sub></i> ~ 7–50 KDa were prepared in high yields by transaminative amino-enaminone polymerization of regioisomeric bis[(dimethylamino)methylidene]cyclohexanediones with alkylene and phenylenediamines. The polymers obtained are pr...

| Summary: | New oligo- and polyenaminones with <i>M<sub>w</sub></i> ~ 7–50 KDa were prepared in high yields by transaminative amino-enaminone polymerization of regioisomeric bis[(dimethylamino)methylidene]cyclohexanediones with alkylene and phenylenediamines. The polymers obtained are practically insoluble in aqueous and organic solvents and exhibit film-forming properties, UV light absorption at wavelengths below 500 nm, and redox activity. These properties indicate a promising application potential of these polymers, which could find use in optical and optoelectronic applications and in energy storage devices. |
