Condensation of Monomers
« on: December 12, 2006, 07:06:09 PM »
Choose the monomers that, upon heating, would produce the following polymer.
(note that hydrogen atoms on the carbons on not explicitly shown)




So far I've realized that if you combine figure "A" with itself it forms the desired product, but I'm not sure if there are any solutions.  When you combine a with itself you form H2O (condensation) and NH2CH2CH2CONHCH2CH2COOH.  Now if that product continues to bind with A's it will continue as the chain described.
