Self-doped conductive polymer, monomer for synthesizing self-doped conductive polymer, and processes of producing the same

Abstract

A process for producing an aromatic monomer for synthesizing a self-doped conductive polymer, the process comprising: introducing an alkoxysulfonic acid group as a self-doping group to a benzene or naphthalene derivative having a hydroxyl group bonded to an aromatic ring thereof by alkanesulfonation of the hydroxyl group; protecting the self-doping group by converting to an acid halide form by sulfonyl halogenation; and introducing two chloromethyl groups as a polymerizable groups into the aromatic ring.
