1. Esterification is a condensation reaction producing a small
molecule called the condensate along with the ester. What small
molecule condensate is produced during the synthesis of the
polyesters? How was it removed from the reaction during the
polyester synthesis?
a. Write the chemical equation (not the mechanism) for the
production of the linear and cross-linked polyesters. Show the
structure of the polymer products using brackets around the
repeating unit of the polymer.
b. What type of polymerization (step-growth or
chain-growth) is occurring during the synthesis of these two
polyesters? Explain
c.Write the chemical equation (not the mechanism) for the
synthesis of nylon. Show the structure of the polymer product using
brackets around the repeating unit
d. Write a curved arrow mechanism for the reaction that
joins one sebacoyl chloride molecule to one 1,6-hexanediamine
molecule. What functional group is formed
