Optically pure L-butyl lactate was synthesized by normal transesterification using nafion-H catalyst in moderate yield. Various reaction conditions were investigated, including the reaction temperature, reaction time, ratio of the starting material and amount of the nafion catalyst.
Silicon inserted π conjugated copolymer was synthesized by Heck reaction with moderate molecular weight. This silicon containing copolymer is thermally stable to 400 'C, while emission of this polymer is blue-shifted compared with polyphenylenevinylene greenish emission. It shows potential application as organic emitter in OLED.
p-1, 1, 3, 3-Tetramethylbutylphenol was prepared by the alkylation of the phenol with Nafion catalyst in extremely high yield. Various reaction conditions were investigated, including the reaction temperature, reaction time, ratio of the starting material, amount of the Nafion catalyst and the recycle times of the catalyst.
