The reaction of activated esters with epoxides for self-curable, highly flexible, A2B2- and A3B3-type epoxy compounds

To achieve high-T_g and low-dissipation epoxy thermosets, bis(2-methoxy-4-(oxiran-2-ylmethyl)phenyl)isophthalate (2) and tris(2-methoxy-4-(oxiran-2-ylmethyl)phenyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (3) were prepared.
