Synthesis,photopolymerization, and adhesive properties of hydrolytically stable phosphonic acid‐containing (meth)acrylamides

Three novel dental monomers containing phosphonic acid groups ( 1a and 2a , based on diethyl amino(phenyl)methylphosphonate and 3a based on diethyl 1‐aminoheptylphosphonate) were synthesized in two steps: the reaction of α‐aminophosphonates with acryloyl chloride (for monomers 1a and 3a ) or methacryloyl chloride (for 2a ) to give monomers with phosphonate groups, and the hydrolysis of phosphonate groups by using trimethyl silylbromide. Their (and the intermediates') structures were confirmed by FTIR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. All the monomers dissolve well in water (152, 511–522
