Abstract

Oligomers of p-phenylene oxides have been synthesized by coupling of substituted phenols and aryl bromides in the presence of cuprous chloride. The chain length varies from 2 to 5 phenyl rings functionalized at one end by an OH and OMe group and at the other end by an OH, OMe or NO2 functions. The oligomers could be used in material science and as building blocks in supramolecular chemistry. Methods for chemoselective demethylation of methoxy groups were developed.
