The Ru(II) complex monomer was synthesized starting from [RuCl2 (p-cymene)]2 and 3,6-bis(dimethylamino)acridine. A series of stable polyimides was synthesized from the Ru(II) complex of 3,6-e/5(dimethylamino)acridine and various aromatic dianhyrides. The polymers had inherent viscosities ranging from 1.72 to 2.11 dL/g and were soluble in polar solvents. The glass transition temperatures were 192-278 °C, and the 10% weight loss temperatures were above 503-635 °C. Ruthenium-substituted polyimides were tested for catalytic activity in the furan formation reaction of (Z)-3-methylpent-2-en-4-yn-l-ol. The polymeric catalyst was added to (Z)-3-methylpent-2-en-4-yn-l-ol without a solvent and the pure furan was isolated by distillation under reduced pressure. The conversion of the starting, enynol, was determined by gas chromatography (GC). © 2004 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCatalystFuran formation reactionPolyimideRuthenium(ii) complexThermally stable polymersArticle14317719010.1023/b:joip.0000039366.65792.682-s2.0-4444284389Q2
