The equilibrium acidity of substituted N-(phenylcarbamoyl)-6-hexanelactams and disubstituted ureas and their effect on the anionic polymerization of lactams

Abstract
The equilibrium acidity of substituted N-(phenylcarbamoyl)-6-hexanelactams, N-butyl-N'-phenylurea and N,N'-diethylurea was determined spectrophotometrically in dimethyl sulfoxide. Using the determined pK values, the effect of activator acidity of the N-(phenylcarbamoyl)-lactam type on the anionic polymerization of lactams was estimated, and the possible effect of the individual types of urea on the concentration of lactam anions was predicted.
