The Oxidative Polymerization of 2-Methyl-6-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl)phenol

2-Methyl-6-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl)phenol (MGP) was prepared by the reaction of o-cresol and 1-chloro-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene in the presence of sodium. This MGP was then oxidatively polymerized with a copper-pyridine catalyst to yield poly[oxy[3-methyl-5-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl)-1,4-ph...

More Information
Summary:2-Methyl-6-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl)phenol (MGP) was prepared by the reaction of o-cresol and 1-chloro-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene in the presence of sodium. This MGP was then oxidatively polymerized with a copper-pyridine catalyst to yield poly[oxy[3-methyl-5-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl)-1,4-phenylene]]. The MGP and 2,6-dimethylphenol (DMP) copolymerized with a similar reactivity to form copolymer. The properties of the polymers were also studied.
