Linear oligoetherols and polyurethanes with carbazole ring

Abstract Reaction of 9‐(2‐chloroethyl)carbazole with excess of diethanolamine led to 5‐[2‐(carbazol‐9‐yl)ethyl]‐3‐azapentane‐1,5‐diol. The product is well soluble in ethylene and propylene oxides and reacted with them at temperature 60–90°C to give bifunctional oligoetherols with carbazole ring. Structure of these oligoetherols, their physical properties, and application for synthesis of linear polyurethanes were studied in detail. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010
