Then, the diols were further converted in a reaction with excess of ethylene or propylene oxide (EO and PO, respectively) to obtain oligoetherols. The oligoetherols were derivatized into azo compounds by reactions with 2-chloro-4-nitrophenylamine.The compounds were isolated and characterized by elemental analysis, number-average molecular weight (Mn), hydroxyl number (LOH), IR, UV-Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy. It has been found that the products have enhanced thermal stability in comparison with oligomers obtained from diols containing carbazole ring without azo group. Keywords: diols with a carbazole ring, hydroxyalkylation, diazotization, thermal properties.

Presumption that considerable thermal stability of carbazole [formula (I) in Scheme A] might lead to polymers containing carbazole ring of high thermal stability. The synthesis of diols and oligoetherols containing a carbazole ring has been described proviously [1—4]. They were obtained from carbazole and glycerol epichlorohydrine leading to 9-(2,3-epoxypropyl)carbazole (EPC), which underwent opening of the epoxide ring with water or ethylene glycol. The products were further converted with oxiranes to bifunctional oligoetherols. The latter opened a possible path towards polyurethanes of enhanced thermal stability [3—4]. For further improvement of thermal stability, synthesis of oligoetherols with azo-derivatives of carbazole suitable for obtaining the polymers must be carried out. This kind of products might have the unique physical properties, for example they were shown to be photo- and electroluminescent, they are often liquid crystals and posse electroconductivity and nonlinear optical properties, because of the presence of azo groups [5—7]. EXPERIMENTAL Materials Carbazole, ethylene oxide (EO), propylene oxide (PO), triethylamine, and 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline were purchased from Fluka (Switzerland). Epichlorohydrine was delivered by Aldrich (Germany). Diethanolamine and 1,2-dichloroethane were purchased from POCh (Poland). All substances were pure grade and were used as received. 3A 2A 1A Number of oligoetherol CH3 (a) (d) (b) (g) (d) (c) (a) (a) (a) O H 2 C H 2C H (c) H O HC H2C (b) CH3 (b) (e) N N (h) 2 (b) (i) (e) (b) N N (f) CH3 (a) (g) (j) (b) NO2 (g) (d) (b) N N (f) (b) (g) (i) N (b)CH2 (a) (h) (c) CH2 ( a) (g) (d) (g) (a) (d) N N O H2C H2C N CH2 CH2 O y (a) (d) (d) Cl CH3 (f) NO2 (c) (a) (a) CH2 CH2 O (e) (b) (a) CH2 CH O NO2 O CH CH2 O CH2 CH2 O y (c) 2 (b) (h) Cl H x (b) H x (a) O CH CH2 O CH2 CH O H y (c) x (c) (d)CH (e) (c) CH (d) H O HC H2C (b) (a) (e) (c) Cl Formula of oligoetherol T a b l e 1.

Reactions of the semi-products with oxiranes like EO and PO were described in [2—4]. Synthesis of diazo dyes In a 100 cm 3 beaker 2.588 g (0.015 mole) of 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline were dispersed in 32.4 cm3 of water. To this suspension 10.2 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid were added. The mixture was cooled down to below 5 °C. The solution of 1.034 g (0.015 mole) of sodium nitrite in 744 cm3 water was added in small portions. The solution of the diazo salt was further stirred in 0—5 °C for next 30 minutes. Coupling of diols with the diazo salt of 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline In a three-necked flask equipped with mechanical stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser 8.58 g of the products of reaction between CPD and PO or 9.1 g of product of reaction of COHD with PO or 8.43 g of products of reaction between CEAPD and EO (molar ratio CPD, COHD or CEAPD:oxirane was 1:6) in 20 cm3 of isobutyl alcohol was placed. This suspension was heated up to 40 °C, and then to this mixture the solution of the diazo salt of 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline was added dropwise within one hour. The mixture was stirred for next 24 hours, then the product was precipitated, filtered off, washed with a small amount of isobutyl alcohol, then with water until the filtrate was neutral. The product was crystallized from 1,2-dichloroethane. Methods of testing The progress of reactions with oxiranes was monitored by determination of epoxide number using hydrochloric acid in dioxane method [8]. In oligoetherols the hydroxyl number (LOH) was determined according to Glinka and Majewska method [9]. The number-average molecular weight (Mn) of obtained polymers was determined cryoscopically in DMSO solvent. The IR spectra of products were recorded with Specord 71 IR, Carl Zeiss spectrophotometer in capillary film or in KBr pellet. The 1H NMR spectra were recorded at 500 MHz using Beckman DU-640 spectrometer in d6-DMSO, with HMDS internal reference. UV spectra were obtained with Specord (Carl Zeis, Jena) in 1 cm cell with in 50 000—14 000 cm-1 wave number range using water as reference. The thermal analysis of oligoetherols and urethane oligomers was conducted with Paulik-Paulik-Erdey thermogravimetric apparatus (MOM, Hungary). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The diols with a carbazole ring were obtained according to Scheme A. CPD and COMD rings [formula (III) and (IV), respectively] were obtained by ring opening of EPC [formula (II)] with water or ethylene glycol [1].

Synthesis of oligoetherols obtained from carbazole and 1,2-dichloroethane, with diethanolamine. In Scheme B it was presented how the obtained diols [formula (VII)] were further converted by reaction with oxiranes to get oligoetherols [formula (VIII)]. Due to good solubility of CPD, COHD, and CEAPD in oxiranes no extra solvent was needed. Diazotization of 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline was performed with NaNO2/HCl mixture. In the next step the obtained oligoetherols were coupled with carbazole oligoetherols [formula (IX)]. The products were dark red resins. Results of analysis of the obtained oligoetherols are listed in Table 1. Elemental analysis determined values of Mn and LOH allowed to identify the products (compare Table 1). In the IR spectra of products there were observed aromatic bands, including these for a carbazole ring (at 1626, 1451, 1327, 1010—928 cm-1). The N=N valence band at 1594—1606 cm-1 region as well as the bands of benzene-attached substituents were present (NO 2 at 1320—1340 cm-1, C-Cl at 1120 cm-1). The valence and deformation bands of OH group are present at: 3360—3400 cm-1 and 1120—1060 cm-1 regions, respectively. The UV-Vis spectra of products indicated maximum at the visible region, centered at 440—442 nm due to N=N chromophore. In the 1H NMR spectra the aromatic protons signal at 7.0—9.0 ppm and hydroxyl proton signal at 2.7—4.9 ppm, as well as methyl proton (0.6—1.2 ppm), methylene (2.9—3.8 ppm) and methine (at ca. 4.2 ppm) signals are observed. It is consistent with the structure of the expected products. The obtained oligoetherol dyes were studied also by thermal stability analysis and results are presented in Table 2. The mass loss in function of temperature proved their high thermal stability except oligoetherol 3A. The 10 % mass loss occurs at 240—320 °C temperature region, while maximum decomposition temperature reaches in some cases 420 °C. Slight mass losses (ca. 5 %) are observed mostly above 260 °C. Comparing the thermal stability of oligoetherols — carbazole derivatives without azo groups (Table 2, oligoetherols 1, 3 and 5) with that of analogous products with azo groups incorporated into molecule (Table 2, oligoetherols 1A and 2A) it can be seen that the latter posses considerably higher thermal stability except oligoetherol 3A (Table 2). Further studies will be continued on the application of obtained oligomers to produce linear polyurethanes of enhanced thermal stability. CONCLUSIONS Coupling of oligoetherols containing a carbazole ring with 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzenediazo chloride leads to resin dye products. It has been found that introducing a phenylazo group into oligoetherols considerably increased their thermal stability. REFERENCES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Lubczak R.: Heterocycl.
