Claims
- 1. A process for synthesizing an amine functionalized monomer that comprises (1) reacting a secondary amine with a 2,3-dihalopropene to produce a vinyl halide containing secondary amine having a structural formula selected from the group consisting of
- 2. A process as specified in claim 1 wherein X represents chlorine or bromine.
- 3. A process as specified in claim 2 wherein m represents 4 or 6.
- 4. A process as specified in claim 1 wherein the 2,3-dihalopropene is 2,3-bromepropene.
- 5. A process as specified in claim 1 wherein the secondary amine is reacted with the 2,3-dihalopropene in the first step at a temperature which is within the range of −20° C. to 60° C.
- 6. A process as specified in claim 1 wherein the secondary amine is reacted with the 2,3-dihalopropene in the first step in the presence of an organic solvent.
- 7. A process as specified in claim 6 wherein the organic solvent is an ether.
- 8. A process as specified in claim 7 wherein the ether is diethyl ether.
- 9. A process as specified in claim 1 wherein the vinyl halide containing secondary amine is reacted with the vinyl magnesium halide is the second step at a temperature which is within the range of −20° C. to 60° C.
- 10. A process as specified in claim 1 wherein the vinyl halide containing secondary amine is reacted with the vinyl magnesium halide is the second step in the presence of a polar organic solvent.
- 11. A process as specified in claim 10 wherein the polar organic solvent is tetrahydrofuran.
- 12. A process as specified in claim 10 wherein the polar organic solvent is diethyl ether.
- 13. A process as specified in claim 1 wherein the secondary amine is of the structural formula:
- 14. A process as specified in claim 13 wherein m represents the integer 4.
- 15. A process as specified in claim 13 wherein m represents the integer 6.
- 16. A process as specified in claim 15 wherein X represents bromine.
- 17. A process as specified in claim 16 wherein the secondary amine is reacted with the 2,3-dihalopropene in the first step at a temperature which is within the range of −20° C. to 60° C., and wherein the vinyl halide containing secondary amine is reacted with the vinyl magnesium halide is the second step at a temperature which is within the range of −20° C. to 60° C.
- 18. A process as specified in claim 17 wherein the vinyl halide containing secondary amine is reacted with the vinyl magnesium halide is the second step in the presence of a polar organic solvent.
- 19. A process as specified in claim 18 wherein the polar organic solvent is diethyl ether.
- 20. A process as specified in claim 18 wherein the secondary amine is reacted with the 2,3-dihalopropene in the first-step at a temperature which is within the range of 0° C. to 30° C., and wherein the vinyl halide containing secondary amine is reacted with the vinyl magnesium halide is the second step at a temperature which is within the range of 0° C. to 30° C.
