Aromatic condensation monomers and polymers containing quinoxal-2,3-diyl groups

The main achievements in the synthesis of aromatic condensation monomers and polymers containing quinoxal-2,3-diyl groups are surveyed. Two general approaches to incorporation of such groups into macromolecules are considered: (i) the synthesis of polymers with α-diketone groups (polybenzyls) followed by their polymer-analogous transformations under the influence of o -phenylenediamine and its derivatives and (ii) the synthesis of target polymers of various classes from monomers containing quinoxal-2,3-diyl groups. Particular attention is focused on the properties of the polymers of interest.
