Abstract:The partial reduction of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) was investigated. A series of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline-co-N-propylethylene imine)s were synthesized by direct reduction using lithium aluminum hydride or borane/dimethylsulfide (BH 3 /DMS), respectively. It is shown that the degree of reduction can be readily controlled either by the reaction time when using an excess of LiAlH 4 or by the stoichiometry of BH 3 /DMS as was demonstrated by 1 H-NMR spectroscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the… Show more
