Notes:
Some phenolic oligomers of uniform structure, molecular weight, and with additional functional groups have been prepared by stepwise synthesis. These synthetic novolaks when mixed in various molecular proportions resemble p-cresol formaldehyde condensation polymers. A study has been made on the titration curves of the mixtures of synthetic compounds in nonaqueous media. A large number of breaks have been observed in the titration curves, and they occur in simple multiples of the calculated amount of base required to neutralize each acidic group in the various novolak molecules independently. An attempt has been made to interpret some of these observations in terms of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, ion-association, and homoconjugation.
