Poly(vinyl alcohol), a hydrophilic polymer used in aqueous adhesives, is made by polymerizing vinyl acetate and then hydrolyzing the ester linkages. We have seen that basic hydrolysis destroys the Dacron polymer. Poly(vinyl acetate) is converted to poly(vinyl alcohol) by a basic hydrolysis of the ester groups. Why doesn’t the hydrolysis destroy the poly(vinyl alcohol)polymer?
Draw the structure of the repeating unit of the polyamide formed from this reaction.
