Green Polymerization of 4-(Oxiran-2-ylmethyl)morpholine

Abstract

Synthesis and cationic polymerization of a new monomer 4-(oxiran-2-ylmethyl)morpholine (OMM) is reported. The monomer was prepared by the reaction of morpholine with epichlorohydrine followed by treatment with sodium hydroxide. The green polymerization of OMM was performed in bulk under suitable condition at temperature 40 • C using an activated smectite clay catalyst, known as Maghnite-H + (Mag-H + ) as proton source. The products are proven by infrared spectroscopy (IR) as well as by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR), and characterized by intrinsic viscosity.
