Copolymers of N-Methyl-N-vinylacetamide with Allylidene Diacetate

详细

New random copolymers containing protected aldehyde groups were prepared by radical copolymerization of N-methyl-N-vinylacetamide with allylidene diacetate. The relative activity constants were determined: for N-methyl-N-vinylacetamine, r₁ = 1.02 ± 0.015; for allylidene acetate, r₂ = 0.95 ± 0.02. Removal of the acetyl protecting groups by base hydrolysis of allylidene diacetate units at 45–50°С yielded water-soluble N-methyl-Nvinylacetamide copolymers with high content of acrolein units, promising for use as polymer carriers of biologically active compounds.
