Abstract
The synthesis and kinetics of quaternization of model compounds of poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) in water-alcoholic solutions brought about by methyl iodide and the alkaline hydrolysis of products in water have been investigated. N,N-Dimethylaminoethyl pivalate was selected as a model of the structural unit of the reported polymer; N,N-dimethylaminoethyl-2-methyl-3-methoxypropionate was the model of the terminal unit of the anionically prepared polymer.
