Synthesis and Characterization of New Organosoluble and Thermally Stable Poly(thioether-amide)s Bearing Pyridine Subunit in the Main Chain

Abstract

We report the synthesis of new polyamides containing 2,6-bis(2-thio-2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1-oxo)pyridine subunit, under microwave irradiation using Yamasaki phosphorylation method. The solubility, thermal behavior, and viscosity of polyamides were evaluated. The structures of polymers have been characterized using IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. These polyamides showed good solubility, viscosity, high thermal stability, and glass transition temperatures. Their viscosities and glass transition temperatures are in the range of 0.63–0.88 and 223–295°C, respectively. Thermal stabilities for 10% weight loss (T10) are 137–173°C and for 50% weight loss (T50) are in the range of 483–523°C. The study of surface morphology showed particle and amorphous structures.

Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Activity of New Amides Containing Azo Moieties

“…About a quarter of available drugs contain at least one amide bond [1][2][3]. The amide compounds are thermally stable [4]. Amide bonds are also present in huge molecules.…”
