R. Jantas et Z. Draczynski, Studies on the addition reaction of diethylamine to multiacrylate catalyzed by lithium diethylamide, POLYM BULL, 44(5-6), 2000, pp. 437-444
The nucleophilic addition reaction of diethylamine to vinyl groups of multi
acrylate-oligo[(2-acryloyloxy-5-methyl-1, 3-phenylene)methylene] and to p-c
resyl acrylate as model compound were investigated. The reaction was carrie
d out in benzene with excess amine in the presence of lithium diethylamide
as catalyst within the temperature range from 21 to 50 degrees C. Based on
the obtained results, it has been shown that the addition reaction rate of
diethylamine to multiacrylate and p-cresyl acrylate is proportional to [CH2
=CH-] and to [Et2NLi] with the ratio [Et2NH](0)/[Et2NLi](0) = 5. Second-ord
er addition reaction rate constants and activation energies for the systems
under investigation have been determined. The chemical composition of the
resultant addition products has been cofirmed by spectroscopic methods: IR,
H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR and elemental analysis.
