Polymerization of 1-Substituted 2-Azabutadienes

摘要

Three 2-aza-1, 3-butadienes carrying substituents at the 1-position have been synthesized by flash vacuum purolysis of precursor cyclopentadiene cycloadducts. 1-Phenul-2-aza-1, 3-butadiene and 1-t-butyl-2-aza-1, 3 butadiene led to low molecular weight polymer when exposed to anionic and radical initiators. 1-(2', 4', 6'-trimethylphenyl)-2-AZA-1,3-butadiene were synthesized similarly, but they did not polymerize. Keywords: 2-Azabutadiene, Novel monomers, Butadienes.
