Abstract
A monomeric bis (benzil) composition is produced by reacting furfural with an aromatic dialdehyde, the product having the structure: ##STR1## wherein R is a difunctional aromatic radical, R' is a hydrogen, a phenylene, or a furan radical, and R' is a hydrogen or or an alkyl substituent. These monomers are used to prepare cross-linked polyquinoxaline resins which have enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. Polymerization of these bis(benzil) monomers occurs by the reaction of the carbonyl groups with a tetraamine monomer. Cross-linking of the resulting polymers chains is accomplished by reaction of the furan end-cap group in a Diels-Alder reaction with a bis(dieneophile) substantially aromatic in composition.
