Conclusions
-
1.
It was shown by the methods of IR and UV spectroscopy that the molecules of benzalacetone (BAC) and α-benzalmethyl ethyl ketone (α-BMEK) are labile and can exist in S-cis- and S-trans-conformations, while γ-benzalmethyl ethyl ketone (γ-BMEK) exists primarily in an S-trans-conformation.
-
2.
The possibility of the existence of BAC andα-BMEK molecules in S-cis-conformation is responsible for their greater ability for polymerization according to the Michael reaction in comparison with γ-BMEK.
-
3.
Some considerations were expressed on the possible mechanism of the polymerization.
