Condensation of 4-azafluorene with ?-butylene glycol and glycerin

Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, 1986
1,4-Di (4-azafluoren-9-yl) butane and 9-(δ-hydroxybutyl)-4-azafluorene were obtained by condensing 4-azafluorene with γ-butylene glycol. From the first of these products, 1,4-di(7-aza-3-oxo-1,2,3,10b-tetrahydrofluoranthen-10b-yl)butane was synthesized by a series of successive transformations (cyanoethylation, hydrolysis, dehydrocyclization).

Improving the Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Polyhydroxyalkanoates via PHA–PHA Block‐Copolymer Synthesis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Covalent linkage of a highly crystalline PHBV with a ductile P3HB4HB is shown to produce block copolymers with markedly enhanced extensibility and toughness, outperforming equivalent blends. The results demonstrate that polymer architecture, not composition alone, governs mechanical response, offering a route to biodegradable materials that combine ...
