Abstract

As part of a program of investigation of basic vinyl monomers, the synthesis of some vinylimidazoles was undertaken. Among the more or less" aromatic" heterocycles of low molecular weight, imidazole is exceptional in its relatively high basicity, since its basic properties are even more pronounced than those of pyridine.'It seemed probable that these basic characteristics would be conferred in part at least on polymers and copolymers ...
