Abstract
Condensation of renewable resources based monomer 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) and urea at 110 °C by melting a solid mixture gives a crystalline polymer resin in 90% yield. This resin was characterized by elemental analysis, 1H, 13C and 1H–1H COSY NMR, IR, UV, TGA and DTA. The structural unit of this new material consists of one DFF molecule condensed with two urea molecules at the aldehyde group of DFF. A homologous resin was prepared by using 5,5′-oxydimethylenebis(2-furaldehyde) and urea in 84% yield via a similar procedure and characterized as well.
