Eugenol derivatives of higher chlorocyclophosphazenes and related epoxy oligomers

The synthesis of eugenol derivatives of octachlorocyclotetraphosphazene and mixtures of oligomer chlorocyclophosphazenes [NPCl2](3-8) was performed. Not yet described octakis(4-allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)cyclotetraphosphazene was isolated in the crystalline form and identified via P-31 and H-1 NMR spectroscopy, laser mass spectrometry, DSC, and TGA. Oligomers with epoxy numbers of 15-16% and molecular masses from 1400 to 1800 were prepared via epoxidation of the synthesized eugenol derivatives with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. Some assumptions on the nature of side reactions occurring in the course of epoxidation were made.
