The synthesis of the esters was achieved by combining acyl chlorides with paranitrophenole in presence of triethylamine. Acetone was used as solvent. The reaction takes 2 h at 0 °C and inert conditions. Triethylamine is used as base to deprotonate paranitrophenol and to catalyze the attack of phenolate at the acyl chloride. It is dissipated by developing hydrogen chloride.

==Synthesis of polyethylene terephthalate in presence of sulfuric acid==
 
-
 
-
===Theory===
 
-
To gain information about different methods of synthesis for Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the effect on physical and surface propieties, three experimets are done. The resulting oligo- and polymer is melted, cooled in liquid nitrogen and investigated with AFM. As the synthesis of polyethylene theephthalate is a reversible polykondensation of ethylene glycol and diemthyl terephthalate the developing methanol has to be removed from the reaction by destillation. Concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst.

After destilation of the Methanol, the resulting yellow solution was cooled for 48 hours at 5°C and filtered.

Pieces of PET foil are added to solutions of FsC and Est13. In case of Est13 various concentrations are tested (50 mmol/L; 20 mmol/L; 2 mmol/L). After 7 days the samples are washed with distilled water and dried in a cabinet dryer at 60 °C over night. The samples are investigated using AFM.

Synthesis of paranitrophnylesters with acyl chlorides in presence of triethylamine

Theory

The synthesis of the esters was achieved by combining acyl chlorides with paranitrophenole in presence of triethylamine. Acetone was used as solvent. The reaction takes 2 h at 0 °C and inert conditions. Triethylamine is used as base to deprotonate paranitrophenol and to catalyze the attack of phenolate at the acyl chloride. It is dissipated by developing hydrogen chloride. Diparanitrophenyl succinate and paranitrophenyl dihydrocinnamate are synthesized.

A solution of 3.76 g (24.29 mmol/ 1.00 eq.) dihydrocinnamoyl chloride in 20 mL acetone is added dropwise with stirring 2 h at 0 °C. The resulting ester is precipitated in 200 mL distilled water, filtrated washed with ice cold acetone, stirred in distilled water for 2 h and dried at 60 °C in a cabinet dryer over night.
