Abstract
The polymerization characteristics of (octylamino)benzoic acid dimer phenyl esters with para-meta (2), meta-para (3), and meta-meta (4) orientation of the amino and carbonyl groups were investigated. While treatment of 2 or 3 with a base gave the cyclic dimer 6 as the main product, condensation of 4 with an initiator in the presence of a base afforded polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions.
