Synthesis of a benzoxazine monomer containing maleimide and allyloxy groups

A novel benzoxazine monomer 3-(4-allyloxy)phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-6-(N-maleimido)-1,3-benzoxazine (AMB) was synthesized and structure was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR. Thermal analysis (DSC) of AMB showed the introduction of allyloxy group decreased melting point and exhibited a narrow and symmetric curing exothermic window.
