Abstract
An addition reaction of aziridine onto 1,4-divinylbenzene (DVB) catalyzed by lithium aziridide was studied. It was found that 1-(2-N-aziridinoethyl)-4-vinylbenzene (AEVB) and 1,4-bis (2-N-aziridinoethyl)-benzene(BAEB) can be prepared selectively under appropriate conditions. On the basis of kinetic studies, the reactivity of aziridine toward DVB was compared with that of diethylamine. Vinyl polymerization and ringopening polymerization of AEVB were also carried out to obtain poly [1-{4-(2-aziridinoethyl)phenyl}ethylene] (poly(AEPE)) and poly[{(4-vinylphenethyl) imino}-ethylene](poly(VPIE)), respectively.
