Abstract
The interaction of 1 mol aminoethane acid with 1 mol of allyl chloride and 1 mol of (β-chlor)allyl chloride in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (pH12) leads to the synthesis of the new monomer – N-allyl-N(β-chlor)allylethanic acid (AEA) with a yield of 50%. During polymerization of AEC (T=60-70) in aqueous solution in the presence of ammonium persulfate (PA) initiator with a concentration of 4×10-4- 5×10-3 mol/L, water-soluble polymers with rather high values of reduced viscosity ([ηprid] = 0.18-0.20 dl/g) for the above mentioned amine were obtained. It was established that the polymerization proceeded on the double bonds of diallyl groups according to the cycle-linear mechanism with pyrrolidine stucture.
