TRIAMINE COMPOUND AND ITS METAL COMPLEX

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a triamine compound that has a chemical structure of three nitrogen atoms connected through two alkylene groups and, when the triamine is used as a metal complex, a phenol compound bearing no substituent on at least one ortho position is oxidatively condensed to give para-position condensate in high yield. SOLUTION: The triamine is represented by general formula (I) (wherein R1is a cyclic saturated hydrocarbon group; R2is methylene, ethylene, a halogen-substituted methylene or halogen-substituted ethylene; R3is a 1-8C alkylene; R4is H, a 1-4C alkyl; wherein a plurality of R1, R2, R3and R4may be identical or different and two R4s may be connected to form a 1-8C alkylene group).
