Abstract:
The synthesis of 5,11,17,23‐amino‐25,26,27,28‐propoxycalix4]arene (calix4]amine, 4 ) starting from 5,11,17,23‐nitro‐25,26,27,28‐propoxy‐calix4]arene ( 3 ) via microwave‐assisted transfer hydrogenation is reported. Furthermore, the calix4]amine ( 4 ) is functionalized with an acrylamide moiety. The swelling behavior in water, the influence on the glass transition temperature, and the shear modulus of a crosslinked N,N‐dimethylacrylamide (NDA) polymer with 5,11,17,23‐acrylamido‐25,26,27,28‐propoxycalix4]arene ( 5 ) and EGDMA, respectively, are investigated.
