Abstract
Abstract Disclosed are processes for preparing a process for preparing a modified polyphenylene ether which comprises reacting any one of a borane compound having at least one boron-hydrogen bond, an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound or a mercaptane having a carbonyl group, a hydroxyl group or an alkoxysilyl group with a polyphenylene ether having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond in a substituent, and optionally oxidizing the resulting borane-modified PPE under alkaline conditions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A process for preparing an alcoholic hydroxyl group-modified polyphenylene ether which comprises reacting a borane compound having at least one boron-hydrogen bond and represented by the formula: ##STR4## wherein R 1 and R 2 independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, a hydrocarbonoxy group or a halogen atom, with a polyphenylene ether having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond in a substituent, and then reacting an oxidizing agent to the formed borane-modified a polyphenylene ether under alkaline conditions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A process for preparing an alcoholic hydroxyl group-modified polyphenylene ether which comprises reacting a borane compound having at least one boron-hydrogen bond and represented by the formula: ##STR4## wherein R 1 and R 2 independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, a hydrocarbonoxy group or a halogen atom, with a polyphenylene ether having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond in a substituent, and then reacting an oxidizing agent to the formed borane-modified a polyphenylene ether under alkaline conditions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said polyphenylene ether contains 2-allyl-6-methylphenol unit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said polyphenylene ether is a copolymer of 2-allyl-6-methylphenol and 2,6-dimethylphenol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the borane compound is borane-tetrahydrofurane complex, borane-pyridine complex, borane-methylsulfide complex or 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide.
