Abstract
Various N-cycloalkyl fumaramides having different characters of N-cycloalkyl groups such as piperidine, morpholine, or pyrrolidone were synthesized and homopolymerized or copolymerized with styrene by use of a radical initiator and ultraviolet irradiation, respectively. N,N′-Dipiperidinyl or -dimorpholyl fumaramides copolymerized with styrene to form a random copolymer, while N,N′-fumaroyl dipyrrolidone tended to form an alternating copolymer with styrene, indicating that the electron distribution of the N-cycloalkyl group affects the polymerizability of fumaramide derivatives. Photopolymerizability of these fumaramides was not as great as that of α,β-unsaturated esters.
