Synthesis of Optically and Redox Active Polyenaminones from Diamines and α,α'-Bis[(dimethylamino)methylidene]cyclohexanediones.

ABSTRACT: New oligo- and polyenaminones with M_w ~ 7-50 KDa were prepared in high yields by transaminative amino-enaminone polymerization of regioisomeric bis[(dimethylamino)methylidene]cyclohexanediones with alkylene and phenylenediamines. The polymers obtained are practically insoluble in aqueous and organic solvents and exhibit film-forming properties, UV light absorption at wavelengths below 500 nm, and redox activity. These properties indicate a promising application potential of these polymers, which could find use in optical and optoelectronic applications and in energy storage devices.
