Synthesis of a naphthalene-hydroxynaphthalene polymer model compound. Quarterly report, September 13, 1990--December 12, 1990
The goal is to synthesize a new naphthalene-hydroxynaphthalene polymer model compound for use in coal combustion studies. This effort will also require the development of a synthetic procedure to synthesize this compound since it is unreported. Our synthesis efforts have resulted in the preparation of a number of potential precursors and intermediates. These compounds were submitted to the Organic Chemistry Research Area`s Analytical Section for characterization and identification. The synthesis of the pre-Bakelite intermediate has continued to be the focus of our efforts. We first modified the target intermediate slightly to allow this compound to be obtained by a more direct route, using commercially available materials. Since then, we have further simplified intermediate to expedite our evaluation of the feasibility of the Bakelite process for the final polymerization, the key step of our suggested scheme.
