Abstract: | Poly(keto-amines) such as poly(4-methyl-3-iminophenacyls) and poly(2-methyl-4-iminophenacyls) were prepared by self-polycondensation of 4-methyl-3-aminophenacyl chloride and 2-methyl-4-aminophenacyl chloride under different experimental conditions. All the polymer samples were insoluble in common organic solvents. They were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectral studies, estimation of M?n by non-aqueous conductometric titration and study of thermal properties by DTA. The properties of P4M3IP and P2M4IP were compared with those of poly(4-iminophenacyls). |
