Abstract

Abstract Polyamides have great potentials for diverse applications and the present production of their monomers mostly relies on resources from fossil fuel. Starting from undecylenic acid, a natural resource, we have developed both divergent and efficient processes for, and-amino acid and-dicarboxylic acid monomers of the polyamides.
