Question

Question Stuck on polymers? Here is another common one: super glue! The major compound found in a bottle of super glue is called cyanoacrylate. Upon exposure to water vapor in the air, a polymerization reaction occurs to form a strong adhesive. Step 1: Water attacks cyanoacrylate to form a nucleophilic enolate. Step 2: The enolate attacks another cyanoacrylate molecule to form the 'polymerization intermediate Step 3: This process is repeated until all the cyanoacrylate is consumed to give the polymer. Predict the structure of the 'polymerization intermediate'. 2 HG CN [1] .
