Notes:
The synthesis and polymerization reactivity of N[2-(2-methyl-4-oxopentyl)]-acrylamide (diacetone acrylamide) is described. This reactive vinyl monomer is prepared in good yield from acetone, acrylonitrile and sulfuric acid. Diacetone acrylamide is a white crystalline solid with the water solubility characteristics of acrylamide and the organic solvent solubility of N-alkyl acrylamides. Diacetone acrylamide readily homopolymerizes and forms copolymers with a wide variety of comonomers. Reactivity ratios in the copolymerization of diacetone acrylamide with styrene and methyl methacrylate are reported and the Alfrey-Price Q and e values calculated. These results, along with data from the copolymerization of diacetone acrylamide with a group of typical vinyl monomers, are presented to indicate the high reactivity of this new monomer.
