Whiskers. VII. Homo‐ and copolyesters of 6‐hydroxythioxanthone‐2‐carboxylic acid
1994
6-Hydroxythioxanthone-2-carboxylic acid (HTCA) was prepared from commercial dimethylnitroterephthalate via 2-(4'-hydroxythiophenyl) terephthalic acid. HTCA was acetylated and polycondensed in an inert reaction medium at 350 or 400°C. An insoluble and infusible, highly crystalline polyester was obtained, which did not form whisker-like crystals. Furthermore, copolyesters with 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) were synthesized and whiskers were obtained at a molar ratio of 1 : 9 (in favor of 4-HBA). A meltable, nematic copolyester was prepared by cocondensation of silylated 6-acetoxythioxanthone-2-carboxylic acid and silylated 4-acetoxybenzoic acid in bulk. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
