Synthesis of new methacrylates based on 6-phenylquinoline and their effect on the thermal degradation of polystyrene

Abstract

In this work for the creation of polymers of special purpose six new quinolin-6-yl-phenylmethacrylates were synthesized by acylation of 3- and 4-hydroxyphenylquinolines with methacrylic acid chloroanhydride. The structure of the synthesized compounds was proved by spectral methods. The effect of new monomers as dopands on the polystyrene destruction was investigated. It was found that the investigated additives at covalent introduction into polystyrene weakly inhibit the process of its destruction, and additives containing nitro group - even contribute to its accelerated destruction.
