Claims
- 1. The method of preparing an amide polymer ##STR33## which comprises reacting an alpha-nitroketone ##STR34## with an amine ##STR35## wherein R is a carbon containing polymer residue, R', R'", and R.sup.iv are hydrogen or saturated hydrocarbon, R.sup.v is saturated hydrocarbon, R" and R.sup.vi are divalent saturated hydrocarbon, y is 1 - 100, a is 0 or 1, and x is 1 thereby forming product amide polymer.
- 2. The method of preparing an amide polymer as claimed in claim 1 wherein said amine is a diamine containing (i) a tertiary amine group and a primary amine group or (ii) two primary amine groups.
