Synthesis and properties of long-chain aromatic telechelic monodispersed diols radical-initiated, addition of 2-mercaptoethanol onto α, ω nonconjugated dienes

The synthesis of aromatic telechelic mono dispersed diols produced from the radical-initiated addition reaction of a twofold excess of 2-mercaptoethanol onto original α, ω nonconjugated dienes reaction is presented. These novel α, ω nonconjugated dienes were prepared by addition reaction of m-isopropyl α, α' dimethyl benzylisocyanate with mono dispersed telechelic diols obtained by fractionation of oligo(ethylene terephthalate)s. In these cases, the long chain α, ω diols were produced selectively and quantitatively. The products are soluble in most organic solvents in contrast to classical oligo (ethylene terephthlate)s and posses a lower glass transition and melting temperatures.
