THE INTERACTION OF EPOXY TOLUENE OLIGOMER CONTAINING CHLOROMETHYL GROUPS AND P-TERT-BUTYLCALIX[6]ARENE

Oligomeric toluene material which has epoxy group (ETO) was prepared t hrough reaction of toluene and epichlorohidrine in the presence of BF3 . Epoxy toluene oligomere containing chloromethyl groups (ETOC) was sy nthesized from the treatment of NaOH and ETO for 6-8 hours. The macrom olecular derivative of oligomer, (ETOC-I-6) was obtained from the reac tion of ETOC and p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene (I-6) in the presence of CH 3ONa. When the concentration of ETOC is greater than I-6, the reaction was observed as pseudo first order, benzene was used as solvent. The activation energy and rate constant of the reaction were calculated as 25.082 kj . mol(-1) and 3.155.10(-5) s(-1), respectively. The amounts of chlorine in ETOC-I-6 was determined 6.37% by Schoniger Method, and its molecular weight was determined as 2778.84 g . mol(-1) by cryosco pic method using benzene as solvent.
