Abstract
Poly-6-(acryloyloxymethyl)uracil was prepared by radical-catalyzed polymerization of monomeric 6-(acryloyloxymethyl)uracil. The reaction of 6-chloromethyluracil with the potassium salt of polyacrylic acids of molecular weights 5000 and 90,000 gave polymers with both carboxylate groups and 50–70% pendant uraciles. Some inferences concerning the arrangement of uracil groups are drawn from the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the latter polymers. No interaction between poly(A) and the synthetic polymers could be observed.
