Abstract

Sulfobetainic polymers were synthesized by polymeranalogous reaction of new amino celluloses starting from cellulose tosylate. To obtain different amino celluloses as starting building blocks, a comprehensive study with a selection of asymmetric and symmetric N-alkylated diamines was performed. For reaction with asymmetric diamines, it turned out that the primary amino moiety reacts preferably. Derivatives thus obtained consist in a neutral main structural unit and a cationic side structural unit, which is not described up to now. In order to investigate the reactivity of the amino celluloses 6-deoxy-6-(N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamino) cellulose was used as uniform starting material for the design of novel polyampholytes by conversion with 1,3-propansultone. Detailed structure characterization was implemented by means of 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopy.
