Abstract
The monomer 8-acryloxyquinoline (8-AQ) was prepared through the reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline with either acryloyl chloride or acrylic acid in the presence of triethylamine or N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, respectively . The resulting monomer was polymerized by free radical polymerization using dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. The reactions of the resulting polymers with hydroxyl and amino compounds have been studied. The polymers were characterized by IR and 1HNMR spectroscopy. Some of the synthesized polymers were tested for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. Generally, all the polymers were effective against the tested microorganisms, but their growth-inhibition effects varied.
