The organic dye molecular material coupled to a polymer main chain in the preparation of the nonlinear optical polymeric compound has one of the following formula: where X1 is carbon, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, ester (CO2), or amide (CONR1), where R1 is an alky or phenyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, D is an organic chromophore molecule, and n is an integer from 1 to 10.

Abstract: This invention relates to very specific oxyalkylene-substituted m-amidoaniline compounds as intermediates for the production of poly(oxyalkylene)-substituted diazo (or other type) colorants. Such an inventive intermediate compound is produced in a single step by reacting an oxyalkylene oxide or alkoxy oxyalkylester having at least three carbon atoms (branched or unbranched), glycidol, or a glycidyl group directly with m-acetoamidoaniline (as a preferred example) at a relatively low temperature. Propylene oxide is the preferred compound. The propylene oxide selectively reacts with the amine group on the base compound without propoxylating the amido group. Such a specific method thus does not require extra time- and cost-consuming steps of protecting the amido nitrogen from attack. After production, this intermediate may be reacted with, for example, a diazotized aromatic amine to ultimately form a diazo colorant.
