Due to the versatility of vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) monomer, poly(vinylbenzyl amine) (PVBAm) could be synthesized via modifications of poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBC). According to literature, most of the polyamines were synthesized from PVBC via Gabriel Reaction. In this work, azidation of PVBC was first performed to obtain poly(vinylbenzyl azide) (PVBAz). PVBAz was then reacted with triphenyl phosphine (TPP) to form PVBAm. Meanwhile it is important to note that an functionality, phosphine imine was present prior to the completion of reaction. This phosphine imine functionality would be easily converted into various functionalities such as isocyanate, amine, etc. with the addition of appropriate reagents.
