- Abstract:
- The temperature dependency of the polymerization
of 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline was investigated utilizing a
commercially available automated synthesizer equipped with
individually heatable reactors. Kinetic investigations resulted
in an optimal polymerization temperature and activation
energy determination for the polymerizations initiated with
methyl tosylate. Moreover, the in situ generation of benzyl
iodide (more reactive initiator) from benzyl chloride and
sodium iodide is described, whereby solid sodium iodide was
automatically dosed into the reactors.
