Synthesis and characterization of novel polyurethanes, polypyridazine, and polyamide based on s‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine

Abstract

AbstractThe synthesis and analysis of new polymeric materials based on 1,2,4,5‐tetrazine are discussed in this study. Tetrazine was mixed with thermoplastic polyurethane in dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent and dibutyl tin dilaurate as catalyst at 50°C for 24 h to create brush polyurethane‐urea, which was then reacted with an unsaturated center in dimethyl sulfoxide as solvent at 60°C for 48 h made of either polyenol or thermoplastic polyurethane through π–π interaction. Because 1,2,4,5‐tetrazine (red color) is known to act as an electron‐deficient dine in inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reactions and can be easily converted to pyridazine (peach color) via [4 + 2] cycloaddition with suitable followed by expulsion of molecular nitrogen (cycloreversion), we observed a highly colored red shift to peach and this monitor for this reaction. Additionally, polyamide was prepared via reaction of 3,6‐diamino‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine with terephthaloyl chloride in DMF as a suitable solvent and triethylamine as basic catalyst at 0°C for 3 h and then 36 h at room temperature. The new polymers that were produced were elucidated by spectral data.
