The synthesis and characterization of novel quinone–amine polymers from the reactions of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone and polyoxypropylenediamines

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A series of novel N- and N,N'-bis(quinonyl)amines were synthesized from the reactions of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (1) and polyoxypropylenediamines. The novel quinone–amine polymers were treated with some thiols in next step and N,S- substituted compounds were obtained. The structures of the novel products were characterized by micro-analysis, ¹H NMR, UV–VIS, ¹³C NMR, and MS. The electrochemical properties of some of the novel amine–quinone polymers derivatives were also investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The number of molecular weight (Mn) of polymer compounds was also determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC).
