β¦ Synopsis
Unsaturated macromolecular carboxybetaines were obtained by reaction of poly(4-vinylpyridine) and poly( N-vinylimidazole) with propiolic acid. A kinetic model was presented for 4-methylpyridine. It consists of three coupled reactions: neutralization, addition which involves two molecules of acid and leads to a cation-anion pair structure, where the cation results from the addition of the amine nitrogen to the triple bond of acid, and an equilibrium reaction between the ion-pair structure and the betaine structure. The addition rate was found to be higher for poly(4-vinylpyridine) than for poly( N-vinylimidazole); it was also higher in water than in a water-methanol mixture. The reaction with acetylenedicarboxylic acid was carried out on poly( N-vinylimidazole), but the transformed units showed the structure that results from propiolic acid. The betaine products from 4-methylpyridine did not polymerize by radical initiation. The polymeric products show characteristics of photocrosslinking polymers.
