Question
1) Draw the structure for the polymer (repeat unit only) produced from the monomer vinylidene dichloride (CH₂=CCl₂). 2) One of the most common consumer plastics is PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is used extensively in containers for food and beverage products. Coca-Cola has recently come up with a biobased source of ethylene glycol for synthesizing this polymer, however, the terephthalic acid is still derived from petroleum sources. A sustainable source of terephthalic acid is therefore highly desired. One candidate is 2,5-furandioic acid. Draw the repeat unit for the resulting sustainable polyester derived from 2,5- furandioic acid and ethylene glycol.
