POLYCHALCONES BASED ON 5,5′-THIO-BIS-2-FURANCARBOXALDEHYDE

Abstract

Polychalcones were prepared by aldol condensation of 5,5′-thio-bis-furancarboxaldehyde (TBF) with acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone and cycloheptanone, respectively. All the polychalcones were characterised by elemental analysis, IR spectral data and thermogravimetry. The electrical conductivity of all polychalcones was measured over a wide temperature range.

Key Words:

• Ketone
• thiobisfurfural
