Green P(AAm-co-DADMAC) Copolymeric Material as Catalyst for Synthesis of Potential Phytohormones of Phenylazophenoxy-acetic Acids by Phase Transfer

Abstract

Several phenylazophenoxyacetic acid derivatives were obtained starting from azophenols and ethyl chloroacetate by an environmentally friendly approach. The synthesis reaction was carried out in heterogeneous medium using P(AAm-co-DADMAC) copolymer. Good results have been obtained thanks to phase transfer catalysis. Retrosynthetic and structural analysis were performed.
