Synthesis and characterization of
azo-salicylic acid-formaldehyde oligomers
[PSA-1 to PSA-4]
2.1 Introduction
The present chapter deals with the synthesis and characterization of assorted azo- 2-
hydroxybenzoic acid – methanal oligomers i.e. PSA-1 to PSA-4. Whole chapter was divided into two
sections. Section A: included synthesis of various azo-Salicylic acid – formaldehyde oligomers i.e. PSA-1
to PSA-4, Their preparation and structures based on reactive sites have also been proposed and section B:
describe characterization of various azo-Salicylic acid - formaldehyde oligomers i.e. PSA-1 to PSA-4.
2.2 Synthesis of salicylic acid-formaldehyde oligomer
2.2.1 Introduction
Thermosetting polymers, sometimes called resins in the industry, can be found everywhere in our
environment (shoe soles, electric appliances parts, light switches, foundry refractory brick, and
adhesives). Thermosetting polymers, as
their name implies, polymerize, in a mostly irreversible manner, with the application of heat. One of the
oldest thermoset known, discovered by Leo Bakeland in the early 1900', [115] is phenol-formaldehyde or
PF, also known as a novolac (acid cured) or resol (base cured). PF are widely used as adhesives in the
wood composite (particleboard or plywood) industry [116]. If one examines, for instance a plywood
sheet, it is possible to see the adhesiveas a thin brownline between each successive veneer sheet. The
following procedure allows for the synthesis of a 50% aqueous solution of a prepolymer, which can be
used to bind wood or other materials together, with proper application of heat and pressure.
The phenol-formaldehyde polymers ar the oldest business artificial polymers, 1st introduced
around one hundred years past. Their artificer, Leo Bakeland, had no plan what was happening in his
reaction kettles, however he was ready to calculate conditions to supply a troublesome, light, rigid, with
chemicals resistant solid from 2 cheap ingredients. He presently became a chic man, within the same
category because the renowned industrialists of the time like Nobel, Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie,
industrialist, etc.
The actual chemistry is difficult, and still not utterly understood. The polymers ar typically
thermosetting (i.e., cross linked), and their quality limits the analytical techniques which will be dropped
at bear. the most reaction is that the production of methylene group bridges between aromatic rings, as
shown below. several aspect reactions additionally occur, and a few of those offer phenol-formaldehyde
chemical compound its dark color. Of course, these cross coupled polymers can not be liquid or
dissolved, therefore their synthesis should be conducted in molds for the particular product. In follow, the
polymerisation is sometimes distributed to somewhere below the gel purpose during a separate reactor,
and so the "pre-polymer" is transferred to the mould, wherever the reaction is completed.
There are two steps in the formation of the polymer. The first is the methylolation, where
formaldehyde adds to the phenol.
C6H5OH CH2O C6H4OH(CH2OH)+
to form methylolphenol, in associate chemical reaction. The second step involves condensation of phenol
with a methylolphenol unit with the assembly of water molecule to create a group bridge between the
unsaturated rings:
C6H5OH H2OC6H4OH(CH2OH) + (C6H4OH)2CH2 +
This reaction is endothermic. This last molecule may also be methylolated again by formaldehyde
and form new methylene bridges with others. Thus a polymer is formed. Since all three ortho and para
sites on the phenol molecule are susceptible to react, pushing reaction 2 to its limit, i.e., continuing to heat
the mixture for too long time, will result in the resin curing, that is, forming a gel, and then a glass,
preferably outside the reaction flask, since the cure reaction is irreversible, due to the nearly infinite
viscosity of the final resin.
Same as phenol-formaldehyde oligomer, new oligomers like Salicylic acid-Formaldehyde
oligomer and its derivatives ar referred to as ion-exchanges. Literature survery reveals that such Salicylic
acid-Formaldehyde compound (SF) sort oligomers haven't been used as dyestuff couples. this may afford
for novel coloured ion-exchanges with sensible thermal stability. therefore the current chapter contains
the synthesis and characterization of novel ion-exchange rosin i.e. azo containing Salicylic acid –
formaldehyde oligomers. Perusal of the literature reveals that such Salicylic acid-Formaldehyde
compound oligomers haven't been applied as dyestuff coupling. The work describe within the gift
communication is in reference to the synthesis and characterization of a dyestuff supported salicylic acid-
methanal oligomers. 2.2.2 Experimental Synthesis of oligomeric 2-
hydroxybenzoic acid-formaldehyde organic compound by condensation of salicylic acid with gas
was established by varying the mole ratio of reactants, catalysts, solvents, temperature etc. Azo coupling
to oligomeric salicylic acid-formaldehyde resin done by first prepared diazonium salt of aniline, 4-chloro
aminobenzine, 4-methyl aminobenzine and 4-methoxy aminobenzine and matched with salicylic acid-
formaldehyde organic compound.
2.2.3 Materials Salicylic acid and Paraformaldehyde used were analytical grade.
2.2.4 Synthesis of hydroxy acid –formaldehyde oligomer
A mixture of hydroxy acid (69 gm, 0.5 mole), 37% formaldehyde solution (35 ml, 0.4 mole) and 60 ml
40% sulfuric acid was refluxed with smart stirring at 125-1300C for six hours. throughout this point, the
solid chemical compound was shaped. The solid was filtered, washed with an outsized quantity of water
and so with boiling water. The dry compound sample was soxhlet extracted with aromatic hydrocarbon to
get rid of unreacted compound. The compound sample was dissolved in 1:1 mixture of dissolver and plant
product and reprecipitated as a pasty mass by adding water. The pasty mass was washed by decantation
and picked up. The mass was dissolved in dilute alkali and reprecipitated by gradual addition of 1:1 conc.
HCl-water mixture with stirring. The compound sample failed to soften up to 3600C the yield was forty
gms.
2.2.5 Results and discussion
The salicylic acid-formaldehyde oligomer was obtained as a off white to light yellowish colored solid, It
was miscible with most of common organic solvents. The C, H and N contents of oligomer were in
agreement with the structure foretold. This was additionally confirmed by IR spectrum that shows bands
at 2920, 2850cm-1 as a result of CH2 , 1650 cm-1 as a result of –COOH cluster and 3350 cm-1 as a result
of -OH cluster. many bands within the covalent bond region arised from aromatics. The Mn calculable
each by VPO and non-aqueous conductometric volumetric analysis were comparable and was regarding
453. The results also indicated that the degree of polymerization of oligomer was 3. Based on results of
elemental analysis, IR spectral features and Mn of oligomer, proposed structure of oligomer would be:

2.4.2 Infrared Spectroscopy
The atoms of a molecule behave as if they were connected by flexible spizings, rather
than by rigid bound resembling the connectors of a ball and stick model. Their component parts
can oscillate in different vibrational modes, designed by such terms as rocking, scissoring,
twisting, wagging and symmetrical and asymmetrical stretching. When inform red radiation is
passed through a sample of a given compound its molecules can absorb radiation of the energy
(and frequency) needed to bring about transition between vibration ground states and vibration
excited states.
2.4.2(I) Experimental
Infrared scanning for the ligands were made in the range 4000-600cm-1 in KBr. AR grade
KBr was used for this purpose. It was first fused, powdered and dried in vacuum. The absence of
moisture in this dried KBr pellet was checked by scanning the IR spectra of purified KBr. Then
the pellet of KBr with polymer was prepared as under.
A mixture of 4mg of pure dried sample and 1 gm KBr powder was ground in a mini ball
mill for about 10 minutes. The resulting mixture was placed on the disc and compressed at high
pressure about 20,000 psi giving the transparent pellet. The IR spectrum of this transparent pellet
was scanned on Nicolet FTIR-760 spectrophotometer.

2.4.3 Determination of Number average molecular weight of oligomeric
ligands PSA-1 to PSA-4
Many methods have been developed for the estimation of molecular weight of polymers. For
example light scattering method, ultra centrifuge method, GPC, VPO, Non-aqueous conductometric
titrations, high speed membrane osmometry are well known.
In present case, high speed membrane osmometry could not be used because it is meant for high
molecular weight polymers and light scattering method is also. therefore VPO and non-aqueous
conductometric volumetric analysis ways used for the determination of oligomeric ligands i.e. PSA-1 to
PSA-4.
Molecular weight determination by non-aqueous conductometric volumetric analysis
it's been rumored that the relative molecular mass of an essentially linear polymer, which contains
–OH, -NH2 or –COOH group per each repeat unit be estimated by non-aqueous conductometric using a
proper titrating agent and a suitable medium. It has been shown that the manner in which the conductance
changes in the course of the titration suggests a method for the estimation of average degree of
polymerization [117-119].
Titrimetric work on linear phenol formaldehyde condensation products, in organic solvents
indicates a stepwise neutralization of acid group [–COOH] in the average chain [117]. It has been shown
that stepwise, neutralization of acid group [–COOH] groups in lower molecular weight polymers is
possible if solvent and titrant bases are properly chosen. They showed that very sharp end-points could be
obtained in the titration of acid compounds if tetra-n-butyl ammonium hydroxide is used in the titrant
base.
R. C. Degeiso and his co-workers [120] prepared salicylic acid-formaldehyde polymer (SF) and
estimated its weight average molecular weight (MW) by light scattering. These authors used solution of SF
polymer in ethanol for these experiments and found the weight average molecular weight of the given SF
polymer was about 6000.
However, these are reports about the application of non-aqueous titration in the estimation of
molecular weights of phenol-formaldehyde type polymers and also of polymers containing –COOH or –
NH2 in the repeat unit of polymer chains. A brief account of titrations of such polymers in non-aqueous
media has been presented.
Both potentiometric and conductometric titrations in non-aqueous media against proper standard
reagent have been employed in estimation of molecular weight (Mn) of polymers containing phenolic –
OH group, amino group or –COOH group in the repeat units. Such polymers are called poly-phenol, poly-
amine and poly-carboxylic acid respectively. The basic requirement is that the polymer should dissolve in
a suitable solvent capable of enhancing its acid or basic character as the case may be. Suitable solvent for
poly phenols and poly carboxylic acids is pyridine. For polyamines suitable solvent is formic acid or
glacial acetic acid. Conductometric or potentiometric titration of a poly phenol or poly carboxylic acid
have been carried out in alkali against customary atomic number 11 methoxide or characin fish radical
ammonia in alkali [121, 122, 123].
Experimental and calculations
(a) 0.05 ml up to 1.0 ml,
(b) 0.10 ml up to 3.0 ml
(c) 0.20 ml up to the end point
The conductance was measured on a METROHM KONDUCTOSKOP E 365 Switzerland. About
1.0 to 2.0 min. time lapse was allowed after each addition of sodium methoxide solution and before
addition of new lot of the titrant.
For a resin of the general structure the reaction will be 1.0 equivalent of the sample would require
1.0 equivalent (1000 milli equivalents) of the base for complete neutralization. Since out of the two
hydroxyl groups present on each repeat unit of resorcinol resin only one group will be neutralized. Hence
total mill equivalent of the base required to neutralized 100 gm of the liquid resin would be
1000 X 100
= ----------------------------------------------------------- = “Y”
Mol. Wt. of the repeat unit
Let ‘Y’ be the milli equivalent of the base used up in the shortest break (First break) in the titration curve.
Then, by principle, the degree of polymerization (P) would be
P = X / Y
and the range average relative molecular mass of the chemical compound would be
Mn = (P) X mass of the repeat unit
The plots of specific conductance against the volume of alkali were made and the values of P for
each phenolic oligomer were calculated. The values of degree of polymerization (P) are finished in Table
2.4.

The non-aqueous conductometric titration curves of each of four oligomeric ligands

2.4.4 Thermogravimetric study
2.4.4 (I) Introduction
The thermal ways typically utilized ar differential scanning measurement (DSC),
differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermohydrometric analysis (TGA) and derivatographic
analysis [124,125]. For comparative study of thermal behavior of related polymer or simple
molecules, each molecule is analyzed by any one or more of these methods of analysis under
identical experimental condition. For example TGA is carried out in air and in oxygen free
nitrogen. It is carried out at different heating rates. It may be method that the result of thermal
analysis of a given sample by a given method depends on various aspects. The amount and
particle size of the material being examined, influence the nature of the thermogram. The speed
of the recorder noting the change in weight and the shape of the sample container also influence
the thermogravimetric results. The rate of heating the sample and the ambient atmosphere during
analysis is very important factors to be controlled during thermal analysis. The information
furnished by TGA and DTA by DGA are to some extent complimentary. From the results of
DTA and TGA, it is possible it note the temperature up to which the material does not loss
weight. It is also possible to know the temperature at which material starts decomposing. It is
possible to know whether the decomposition occurs in one or more stages.
Besides the quantitative information derived on mere inspection of the thermogram, other
information about the order of the degradation reaction can be obtained by the analysis of the
thermal data furnished by either DTA or TGA.
The present aspect deals with the study of thermal properties of azo containing salicylic
acid-formaldehyde oligomer (PSA-1 to PSA-3 oligomeric ligands) sample which are presented
in section-2.3. The purpose of undertaking this work was to study thermal behavior of these
ligand samples in terms of decarboxylation.
2.4.4(II) Thermo gravimetric analysis
The thermal behavior of the ligand samples described in section-2.3 has been studied by
TGA. The loss in weight due to pyrolysis of the material with increase in temperature forms a
TG curve [125]. Normally the shape of the TG curve depends upon the nature of the in situ
degradation reaction of the sample. The analysis of these data by Broido method is often carried
out with a view to estimate kinetic parameters like energy of activation of the degradation
reaction [125].
The advantages of TGA are enumerated here [125, 126].
(I) A relatively small set of data is to be treated.
(II) Continuous recording of weight loss as a function of temperature ensures
Equal weightage to examination over the whole range of study.
(III) As a single sample is analysed over the whole range of temperature, the
variation in the value of the kinetic parameters, if any, will be indicated.
For the estimation of kinetic parameters, many ways ar utilized. All involve two
assumptions. It is assumed that the distinction within the thermal and diffusion processes is
negligible. it's additionally assumed that physicist relation is valid over the complete vary of
temperature. Since little materials ar utilized in TG analysis the barriers between the thermal and
diffusion processes ar quite negligible. thus it's cheap to ignore it. Besides it's cheap to assume
validity of physicist relation. [126]. Various methods are proposed to analyse the TG data
depending upon the nature of experimentation [126-133]. As the present study deals with simple
molecule. Hence attempt was not made for Application at these methods.
2.4.4(III) Experimental (TGA)
The thermohydrometric analyses (TGA) of sample are administered by victimization
“PERKIN ELMER PYRIS one TGA” in an exceedingly slow stream of air. The boat ready from
Pt foil would hold the sample for analysis. it's properly washed and dried. it absolutely was
suspended on the quartz rod within the TG balance. The pulverized sample (about five mg) was
placed within the boat. The sample within the boat is roofed by a quartz tube within which the
flow of air was maintained. The weight of sample was noted on TGA balance. the full assembly
was brought down within the chamber. it had been discovered that the boat was hanging on
quartz rod. The experiment was started by the heating the system at a continuing rate of
10°C/min. at the same time amendment within the weight was recorded mechanically with time
(temperature). this can reveal proportion weight loss of fabric s a perform of the time and also of
temperature. The experiment was stopped at about 650 °C, when there was no further decrease in
weight.
The thermograms were analyzed to obtain information about percentage weight loss at
different temperatures. The results of those analyses square measure bestowed in Table two.5.
elect themograms square measure shown in Figures two.5 to 2.7.
2.4.4(IV) Results and discussion The temporary account of the thermal behavior of oligomeric
ligands in air is given below:
(I) Examination of the TG curves of substance samples reveals that every of them
degrades in 2 steps.
(II) The initial stages of degradation up to 200° to 230°C of all the ligands indicate the load
loss within the vary at fifteen to twenty second percentages. this is often relying au courant the
relative molecular mass of sample
(III) The second stage at degradation of all the substances on the far side 200°c is speedy and
loss concerning seventy fifth to eighty fifth at 300°c relying upon the character of ligand.
(IV) All the ligands containing one –COOH teams. thence the TGA of ligands in air might
cause chemical process as rumored by Parekh [134]. The calculated worth of carbonic acid gas
of every ligands and naturally loss of 1st stage degradation of every ligands square measure
bestowed in Tables two.5. Examination of those information reveals that the dearboxylation of
every substance in keeping with the calculated values. of these facts ensure the structure of
oligomeric ligands.

2.4.5 Determination of chemical group
The number of chemical group for all PSA-1 to PSA-4 oligomeric ligands were calculable by
methodology reported [135]. 35 mg. of sample was taken within the volumetric analysis flask
and dissolved in twenty five metric capacity unit. of diluted oil of vitriol (2:5 v/v) and
greenhouse gas gas was passed into it for five minutes to displace air. 20 ml. of 0.10 N titaneous
chloride answers was value-added into this air free solution. it absolutely was poached for five
minutes while maintaining the present of greenhouse gas. Cool the ensuing answer and add ten
metric capacity unit. of ammonium ion salt answer. it absolutely was titrated with customary
zero.10 N metal ammonium ion sulfate solutions. Blank set of twenty metric capacity unit. of
