Attached is a Sciences' article about the synthesis of an organic conductive polymer. The 2-steps synthesis to prepare the conductive polymer PTEO leverages acid base and substitution chemistry. A OH PTEO NaOH GTEMPO +OK OK 80°C • Re-write the two-step synthesis using ROH (as a generic alcohol) and epichlorohydrin. • Suggest a step-by-step mechanism for the formation of the polymer from the synthesized monomer (still use R as generic alcohol). what is the role of the bases (NaOH and tButOK)? • Is the polymerization a SN2 or SN1 reaction? • What is the driving force for the substitution reaction (i.e. formation of the polymer). In other words, why epichloryhdrin-based monomers leads to efficient polymerization reactions?
