Tandem phenol‐keto tautomerism and nucleophilic substitution reactions for the synthesis of novel soluble and crosslinkable poly(arylene ether ketone)

Abstract

Tandem phenol‐keto and nucleophilic substitution reaction were successfully employed in preparing soluble poly(arylene ether ketone)s that can be cross‐linked into high‐performance networks at elevated temperature tentatively via retro‐Diels‐Alder reaction.
