description

Possibilities to synthesize substituted oligo[(hydroxy-1,3-phenylene)methylene]s containing hydroxynitrophenylene and alkylhydroxyphenylene units are discussed. The only successful way to introduce the hydroxynitrophenylene unit consists in the condensation of chloromethylated nitrophenols with an excess of alkylphenols. The resulting compounds can be prolonged stepwise at the alkylhydroxyphenylene end group by alternating hydroxymethylation and further condensation with alkylphenols. Thus, including the hydroxymethylated compounds, 11 dinuclear, 17 trinuclear, and 5 tetranuclear compounds were obtained for the first time. Some of them were characterized by their acetyl derivatives.
