The first compound synthesized by a two-step process was 2,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-3,4-di(4-fluorophenyl)cyclopentadienone. The next two compoundssynthesized were diethyl 2,3-bis(fluorophenyl)-5-hexylterephthalate and 2,3-bis(fluorophenyl)-5-hexylterephthalic acid. The final step involved an intramolecularFriedel-Crafts acylation of the terephthalic acid derivative to form 3,10-difluoro-5,8-dioxo-5,8-dihydro-6-hexylindeno[2,1-c]fluorene. The difluoro monomer was reacted in aseries of nucleophilic aromatic substitution (NAS) polymerization reactions withbisphenol-A in N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) in an attempt to form novel poly(ether etherketone ketone)s containing the indeno[2,1-c]fluorene structure. Analysis of the productby NMR and TLC showed the reaction was unsuccessful and the difluoro monomer didnot undergo significant fluorine displacement. A series of model reactions in NMP anddimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) also confirmed that the monomer did not undergo fluorinedisplacement under polymerization conditions. In addition, the synthesis of diethyl 5,6-diphenyl-2,3-bis(2-thienyl)terephthalate and 2,8-dibromo-5,11-bis(4-bromophenyl)-indeno[1,2-b]fluorene-6,12-dione were carried out. 2017-08-29 English text Wright State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1503673136761061 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1503673136761061 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
