SynopsisA novel oligomeric compound has been synthesized by reacting 1,3 bis-(3-aminophenoxy)benzene (APB) with p-benzoquinone. A dark reddish brown product has been characterized using W, IR, and N M R spectra, and elmental analysis. It, too, adheres to metals, as does another polyetheramine-p-benzoquinone polymer synthesized in Part I [ B o g . Org. Coating, 15, 63 (1987)], and becomes nonwettable after heat curing. However, its moisture adsorption is only 0.1% by weight, as against 3% for the latter product. This makes it a likely candidate for insulating electronic components from moisture.+For Part I, see Ref. 4.

SYNOPSISSeveral diamine-p -benzoquinone polymer/oligomers were synthesized to find those that exhibited superior properties, in addition to being able to displace water from wet, rusty steel surfaces. Unfortunately, many of these were found to be insoluble in most commonly used solvents and a few to be insoluble in all 34 solvents used in polymer solubility studies. The reason for this low solubility is believed to be the extremely regular structure of the polymers.
