Abstract: Compound B was synthesized through oxidative coupling reaction of p-phenylene-diamine and compound A(acetylamino-capped aniline dimer). This synthetic route protected the N-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine from further reaction. The pentamer was synthesized by the hydrolysis of compound B(acetylamino-capped aniline pentamer) and was characterized by IR, elemental analysis and MALDI-TOF-MS. The chemical oxidation process of the pentamer was studied by UV-Vis spectra. It was found the pentamer was oxidized to its EB form and then to the pernigraniline oxidation state.

Key words: Oligoaniline, Amino-capped aniline pentamer, UV-Vis spectrum
