Notes:
A new pentafunctional monomer (3a) was prepared by acylation of silylated 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) with 3,5-bisacetoxybenzoyl chloride. The polycondensation of this monomer or its trimethylsilyl ester yielded a hyperbranched poly(ester-amide) having a nearly alternating sequence of one DABA and two 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) units. However, due to ester-amide interchange reactions, ca. 15-25% of the DABA units lose their role as branching units. When 3,5-bisacetoxybenzoic acid and 3,5-bisacetamidobenzoic acid were copolycondensed in a 2:1 ratio, the resulting polymer and endgroup structures were different. Furthermore, hyperbranched copoly(ester-amide)s with a variable DHBA/DABA ratio from 10:0 down to 3:7 were prepared. The glass transition temperature (Tg) increased by approx. 90°C (up to 250°C) at higher molar fractions of DABA. Furthermore, monomer 3a was copolycondensed with 3-acetoxybenzoic acid or its trimethylsilyl ester. The resulting copoly(ester-amide)s were again amorphous, showing a continuous decrease of the Tg down to the value of the poly(3-hydroxybenzoic acid) (poly(3-HBA)) around 136-140°C.
