Abstract

4,5-Diazafluoren-9-one (2), 4,5-diazafluorene (3) and 9-methylene-4,5-diazafluorene (5) were prepared by 1,10-Phenanthroline (1) as starting material. Using n-butyllithium to react with 3 (or using methyllithium to react with 5), the corresponding organic lithium salts could be given, and then, the optically active epichlorohydrin (ECH, ee>98%) was added dropwise at -50 ℃, according to regular treatment, the optically pure terminal epoxides (4 and 6) with diazafluorenyl substituent were obtained. The ee values of epoxides are larger than 98%. Using ethylmagnesium bromide (or phenylmagnesium bromide) to react with 2 in the presence of potassium hydroxide and tetrabutylammonium bromide, the corresponding substituted epoxy compounds (8a and 8b) were produced. The ee values of epoxides (8a and 8b) are larger than 97%. The epoxides (4, 6, 8a and 8b) were polymerized using KOH as an initiator and the polyethers with narrow molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mn=1.04 to 1.10) were obtained. The products were analyzed by NMR, elemental analysis and GPC.
