Summary
In a first example of the functionalization of soluble polymers the conversion of the hydroxyl groups of poly(oxyethylene) into primary amino groups has been studied. Starting from poly(oxyethylene), the preparation of the diphthalimido derivative via the disodium salt is described. Prom this regiospecific functionalized polymer the di(aminoethyl) poly(oxyethylene), which exhibits excellent solubility properties, can be obtained by polymeranalogous hydrazinolysis.
