Abstract

Systematic work, in Italy, on the synthesis of polymers having tertiary amino groups as structural units is reported. The polymers carry amino groups, (a) situated in the molecular main chain; (b) directly bound to the main chain as side groups; or (c) situated on side groups. Type (a) were synthesized by poly-addition of mono- or diamines (or aminoacids) to a compound having two vinyl double bonds activated by adjacent electron attracting groups. These polymers have different chemical functions regularly arranged along the main chain. For (b), the synthesis of polymeric compounds using enamines as monomers is discussed; results of practical interest were obtained by copolymerizing enamines with acrylonitrile to give products which may reach an alternating disposition of the co-units along the chain. In type (c) polymers which are partially stereoregular could also be synthesized, using anionic catalysts at low temperatures.
