Organic polymers which are "hydroxyphenyl-substituted" and "ether-substituted" polypyrroles ("PP") linked through N-adjacent C atoms, are disclosed which are compactable, extrudable and are also electrical conductors. When such PPs are prepared by electrochemical deposition with an appropriate electrolyte, they are also soluble in commonly available solvents, provided at least one of the 3- or 4- positions of the pyrrole nucleus is substituted with a substituent having either a hydroxyphenyl, or an ether structure. By choice of the hydroxyphenyl and/or ether substituent on one of the substitutable positions (3- or 4-) of the pyrrole nucleus, or both, the PP may be tailored for use either as a semiconductor having a conductivity in the range from about 10.sup.-5 to about 10.sup.-2 S/cm, or a relatively good conductor having a conductivity in the range from about 10.sup.-2 to about 10.sup.2 S/cm. A method is disclosed for preparing an ether-substituted pyrrole comprising reacting a non-Michael acceptor selected from the group consisting of esters, ketones and nitriles having vinylene carbon atoms, with tosylmethylisocyanide, in the presence of a solvent, so as to form a hydroxyphenyl-substituted or an ether-substituted pyrrole directly without substituting the pyrrole ring in the 2- and 5- positions.
本文披露了一种经由N相邻的C原子连接的“羟基苯基取代”和“醚基取代”多吡咯(“PP”)的有机聚合物,它们可压缩、挤出且具有电导性。当使用适当的电解质通过电化学沉积制备这种PP时,它们也可溶于常见的溶剂,只要在吡咯环的3-或4-位置之一取代了具有羟基苯基或醚结构的取代基。通过选择吡咯环可取代位置(3-或4-)之一或两个位置上的羟基苯基和/或醚基取代基,PP可被量身定做用作半导体,其电导率在约10.sup.-5至约10.sup.-2 S/cm之间,或者用作相对良好的导体,其电导率在约10.sup.-2至约10.sup.2 S/cm之间。本文还披露了一种制备醚基取代吡咯的方法,包括在溶剂存在下,将来自酯类、酮类和腈类的非迈克尔受体,具有乙烯基碳原子的化合物与对甲苯磺酰甲基异腈反应,从而直接形成羟基苯基取代或醚基取代的吡咯,而不取代吡咯环的2-和5-位置。
