| Abstract: | The preparation of vinyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-morpholinocarbonylcyclobutaneacetate, vinyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-piperidinocarbonylcyclobutaneacetate, and vinyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-di-n-butylaminocarbonylcyclobutaneacetate has been achieved by selective amination followed by vinyl interchange. Homopolymers and vinyl chloride copolymers containing 25 and 30 wt.-% of the vinyl esteramides were prepared and evaluated as nonrigid plastics. The vinyl esteramides incorporated in vinyl chloride copolymers did impart some plasticization, but their effect was far below the effect of added plasticizer to a vinyl chloride polymer. |
