Four high-purity aromatic diamine-based benzoxazines (13–16), which could not easily be synthesized by traditional approaches, were successfully synthesized by a facile, widely useful three-step synthetic method using four typical aromatic diamines – 4,4′-diamino diphenyl methane (1), 4,4′-diamino diphenyl sulfone (2), 2,2-bis(4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl)propane (3), and bis(4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl)ether (4), respectively, as starting materials. The structures of the monomers (5–16) were confirmed by 1H, 13C, 1H–1H and 1H–13C NMR spectra. Their high performance thermosets, P(13–16), were obtained by thermal curing of benzoxazines (13–16), and their properties were studied and compared with polymer derived from bis(3,4-dihydro-2H-3-phenyl-1,3-benzoxazinyl)methane (F-a), a typical aromatic biphenol-based benzoxazine. Among the benzoxazines, 13 and F-a are constitutional isomers, but the Tg value and 5% decomposition temperature of P(13) are 53 and 111 °C, respectively, higher than those of P(F-a), demonstrating the power of the molecule-approach to enhance the thermal properties. Because of the large varieties of aromatic diamines, this approach can increase the molecule-design flexibility of benzoxazines. |
