Synthesis of tertiary poly(amido-amine)s with amido- and amino groups randomly arranged along the macromolecular chain

A new synthesis of poly(amido-amine)s from bis (secondary amine)s and acryloyl chloride has been studied, leading to polymers in which the amido- and amino-groups are randomly arranged along the macromolecular chain. A poly(amido-amine) based on piperazine, chosen as the mother compound, has been fully characterized by 13C n.m.r. as well as by identification and quantitative evaluation of its hydrolysis products. © 1982
