Abstract
A poly(acrylamide) was synthesized from N -Boc-N -acrolyl-l-lysylglycine methyl ester via radical polymerization. This polymer typically had Mn 100,000 g/mol, Mw 300,000 g/mol, and a Tg of 93C. Removal of Boc with TFA and cyclization with DABCO in DMSO at 65C afforded a soluble piperazinedione- containing polymer that had a Tg of 157C and thermal stability up to 300C. These results demonstrate a viable and efficient synthetic route to piperazinedione-containing polyacrylamides of high molecular weight. Related polymers that incorporate substituted indane moieties could be useful high Tg materials for fabrication of LC and NLO devices.
