Chapter 28.8, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The polymer obtained on treatment of cardinol with formaldehyde in the presence of proton source is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: In step-growth polymerization, the monomers with different functional groups combine together to form the polymer with the loss of small molecule such as water. For example polyamides, polyesters, polyurethanes, polycarbonates and epoxy resins.

Thermosetting resins similar to Bakelite (Section 31.7) have also been prepared from renewable feedstocks. One method uses cardinol, the major constituent of the liquid obtained from roasted cashew nutshells. What polymer is obtained when cardinol is treated with formaldehyde (H2C=O) in the presence of a proton source? он H2C=0 H+ cardinol
Nomex, another aromatic polyamide (compare aramid), is prepared by polymerization of 1,3-benzenediamine and the diacid chloride of 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid. The physical properties of the polymer make it suitable for high-strength, high-temperature applications such as parachute cords and jet aircraft tires. Draw a structural formula for the repeating unit of Nomex. H,N. NH2 CI polymerization Nomex 1,3-Benzenediamine 1,3-Benzene- dicarbonyl chloride
