Melts of aromatic carboxylic acids are found to be excellent reaction media for 1‐pot high molecular weight polyimide synthesis from diamines and tetracarboxylic acid dianhydrides. No reversible reaction of polyamic acids (PAA) formation was observed. The effect of the reactivity equalization was observed for low‐ and high reactive diamines in acid media. The intrinsic acid catalysis of the imidization reaction was shown to take place also in polycyclization of PAA in concentrated solutions in amic solvents. It is found that the dependence of relative imidization rate (% conv./min) vs. AA/N‐MP ratio for model low molecular and oligomeric amic acids (AA) in N‐MP at 140–150°C possesses a sharp maximum near the molar ratio 1:1, the imidization rate at the point of the maximum being an order of magnitude higher than that for diluted solutions. A scheme is proposed which includes the opportunity of two reaction channels to occur: A usual one (I) and a catalytic one (II). In diluted solutions and in solid phase experiments with easy evacuation of volatile products, the role of catalytic channel II is low. To the contrary, in high concentrated solutions or in solid phase experiments under the conditions exluding volatile products evacuation, the catalytic channel becomes the key one. It is proposed that the catalytic reaction proceeds via the common acid catalysis mechanism, the solvent and water playing the role of co‐catalysts, probably through the mechanism of ionic dissociation of AA or hydrogen‐ bound complex AA‐solvent. It is shown that the water released in the course of solid phase imidization of phtalamic acid at 140°C under the conditions where vaporization is impossible causes a sharp autocatalytic effect after initial 20%‐conversion period to obtain entirely imidizied product. |
