Synthesis and Physico-Chemical Properties of 2-Morpholino-4,6-Dichloro-S-Triazine with Various Aromatic Diols

Abstract

Several homopolycyanurates were synthesized by stirred interfacial polycondensation of 2-morpholino-4,6-dichloro- s-triazine with various aromatic diols such as 1,5- dihydroxynaphthalene,(DHN-1,5),1,7-dihydroxynapthalene(DHN-1,7),2,7-dihydroxynapthalene resorcinol (R), catechol (C), hydroquinone (H) and phenolphthalein (Ph). They were characterized by density, viscosity measurements, IR spectra, solubility tests and thermogravimetric analysis. The polymer had reduced viscosities in the range 0.468 to 0.829 dl g−1 in chromoform at 30 °C. All the polymers were amorphous and soluble in chlorinated solvents. The thermal stability of polycyanurates decreases in the following matter: PCDHN-1,5 > PCDHN-1,7 > PCPh > PCR ≃ PCDHN-2,7 > PCHQ > PCC.
