SYNTHESIS AND EXCHANGE-REACTIONS OF POLY-N-ACRYLOYLOXYTETRABROMOPHTHALIMIDE AS ACTIVATED POLYMER

The synthesis of N-acryloyloxytetrabromophthalimide was accomplished i n fair yield by the reaction of acryloyl chloride with N-hydroxytetrab romophthalimide in the presence of triethylamine. Following polymeriza tion of the monomer, exchange reactions of the resulting polymer with amines, amino acids, alcohols, phenols and hydroxybenzoic acids were s tudied.
