Synthesis of a naphthalene-hydroxynaphthalene polymer model compound
This goal is to synthesize a new naphthalene hydroxynaphthalene polymer model compound for use in coal combustion studies. na effort will also require the development of a synthetic procedure to synthesize this compound since it is unreported. As a result of our synthesis efforts, a number of potential precursors and Area's Analytical Section for characterization and identification. The synthesis of the pre-Bakefite intermediate has been identified as being key to the evaluation of our synthetic approach to the target compound. During this quarter, we have been reevaluating our synthetic approach while we have begun trying to synthesize this compound. As a result of our reevaluation, we also have been considering slightly modified target compounds which might be obtained by more direct routes or from commercially available materials. We also targeted simplified intermediates which would expedite our evaluation of the feasibility of the Bakelite process for the final polymerization, the key step of our suggested scheme. The results of our simplified model compound will also provide data to help us determine any modifications that will be required.
