Allyl esters of N-alkyl-omega-(alkyleneureido) amic acids and their synthesis and use in aqueous emulsion polymer systems

Abstract

Novel compounds of the general formula ##STR1## (m = 0 or 1; n = 2 or 3 and R = H or CH.sub.3) are produced by reacting a 2-aminoalkyl alkylene urea with an allyl ester of a carbonylic acid. Among the particular allyl esters disclosed as reactants are diallyl carbonate, allyl and methallyl chloroformate, diallyl and dimethallyl oxalate. The recovered allyl esters of the alkyleneureido amic acid compounds find particular use as functional comonomers for imparting wet adhesion properties to emulsion systems containing vinyl ester polymers used in paints and coating compositions.
