“…These diols have attracted considerable attention in the field of materials science 6–11. These sugar‐based stereoisomeric diols represent highly useful diol components for the syntheses of various polymers such as polyesters,12–18 polyamides,19, 20 polyethersulfones,21, 22 poly(ester amide)s,23–26 poly(ester imide)s,26–28 polyurethanes,29 or polycarbonates 29–36. As an extension of the series of our studies on polymers syntheses based on the diols 1a–c, we describe in this paper synthesis and characterization of poly (ether ketone)s (PEKs), which can substitute the conventional ones based on diphenols.…”
