SYNTHESIS OF POLYPROPYLENE OXIDE OLIGOMERES WITH MALEIMIDE TERMINAL GROUPS
A new method for producing polypropylene oxide (PPO) oligomeres with maleimide terminal groups from the amino terminal polypropylene oxide via its interaction with the furan adduct of maleic anhydride was suggested. The presence of maleimide groups was confirmed by characteristic frequencies in the PMR and IR spectra. The kinetic characteristics of furan protecting group elimination were found. The evaluation of the reactivity of maleimide-terminal oligomer in nucleophilic addition reactions (Michael) was carried out.
