Ethylene Oxide → N-Vinylbenzyl-N-2-picolyl-N-2-hydroxyethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution containing 134.6 g (0.6 mole) of the 2-picolylamine substituted monomer of Example 4 in 300 mL of tetrahydrofuran were added dropwise 27.3 g (0.62 mole) of ethylene oxide over a 2 hour period. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 20 hours and the solvent removed at reduced pressure to give 153.0 g of the hydroxyethylamine substituted monomer. This procedure is repeated, except substituting propylene oxide for the ethylene oxide, to provide the corresponding hydroxypropylamine substituted monomer.
