Summary
N-Vinyl-2-oxazolidone monomer was synthesized and polymerized in bulk and in solution using a free radical initiator. The 13C-NMR spectra of these polymers were recorded and analyzed in terms of polymer stereochemistry. The carbonyl carbon was found to be sensitive to pentad stereosequences and the fractional and relative intensities of the signals in the carbonyl resonance pattern show that the polymers are atactic.
