Abstract

Four novel random copolyesters were synthesized from a common diol (diol I) namely  2,5 ditertiarybutyl hydroquinone and the varying diol (diol II) namely 3,3’-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one) (THAP) and 3,3’-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one) (TMAP) and succinyl and glutary chloride by solution polycondensation. The two varying diols were synthesized using Acid catalyzed Claisen-Schmidt reaction. The  copolyesters obtained  were characterized by qualitative solubility tests and viscosity values.  Their structure was confirmed by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra.  These copolyesters displayed potential antimicrobial activity against  bacterial strains.
