Zb. Shifrina et al., REACTIVITY OF THE AMINO-GROUPS IN ,3'-DIAMINO-4,4'-DI(P-AMINOPHENOXY)DIPHENYLSULFONE, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(2), 1993, pp. 251-254
Reactivities of the amino groups in ,3'-diamino-4,4'-di(p-aminophenoxy
)diphenylsulfone were estimated by MO calculations using the Paryzer-P
arr-Pople method, by potentiometric measurement of their pK(a) values,
and by the C-13 NMR spectroscopic study of the products obtained on r
eaction of the tetramine with two moles of 1,8-naphthalic anhydride. T
he results of these studies prove unambiguously the higher reactivity
of the amino groups in positions 4 and 4' of the phenoxide moieties.
