description

Poly(vinyl acetate-co-vinyl chloroformate) (1) was synthesized via phosgenation of poly(vinyl acetate-co-vinyl alcohol). It was shown that (1) is capable of initiating the polymerization of 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline and 2-methyl-2-oxazoline, when the counter ion is exchanged using potassium iodide. Polyvinyl acetate-graft-poly-2-phenyl-2-oxazoline and polyvinyl acetate-graft-poly-2-methyl-2-oxazoline are obtained in the grafting reaction.
