There is interest in synthesizing bis(ether acid)s and related
compounds to use as monomers in order to prepare processable aromatic
polymers, such as poly(ether amide)s and poly(ether ester)s. We have now
found that it is possible to prepare efficiently
bis(3-cyanophenoxy)phenylenes by fluoro displacement from
3-fluorobenzonitrile and phenylene diols or their derivatives, such as
substituted catechols, and to convert those bis(ether nitrile)s to
bis(3-carboxyphenoxy)phenylenes which can be used in the synthesis of
poly(ether amide)s and poly(ether ester)s. Themeta-fluoro
displacement is performed at elevated temperatures in
N-methylpyrrolidinone.
