1H NMR spectrum of the synthesized reactive diluents were obtained using Bruker Advance 300 (300 MHz) spectrometer equipped with a QNP probe at room temperature. Acetone-d6 was used as deuterated solvent. Chemical shifts (δ) are given in ppm referenced to the residual deuterated solvent peak.
The Epoxide Index (EI, meq g−1) was determined according to 1H NMR titration method (1H qNMR). The method consists in solubilizing a known mass of the product and of an internal standard (trioxane with a purity of 99.9%). The number of moles of epoxide per gram of product was measured by comparing the standardized integration of the standard with the standardized integration of the oxirane rings.
The epoxy equivalent weight (EEW, g eq−1) was determined thanks to the EI (meq g−1) using the following
