Fluorinated, acrylamide-functional monomers.

摘要

Novel fluorinated, acrylamide monomers are prepared from 2-alkenyl azlactones reacted with fluorinated alcohols. The novel monomers have the formula <CHEM> wherein R<1> and R<6> are independently hydrogen or methyl; R<2> and R<3> independently can be an alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl group, or R<2> and R<3> taken together with the carbon to which they are joined can form a carbocyclic ring containing 4 to 12 ring atoms; R<4> and R<5> are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl; a is 0 or 1; b is 1 or 2; X is a single bond, CH2, CH2OCH2, and CH2CH2OCH2; and RF is a substantially perfluorinated alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl group when b is 1 and perfluorinated alkylene when b is 2. Novel polymers and copolymers can be prepared from the monomers of the invention.
