Question

What product is produced by condensation of the following: adipic acid and tetramethylenediamine. Provide a linkage based name as well as a trade name.

Answer 1

The condensation of adipic acid and hexamethylene diammine gives a famous polymer known as nylon 66

(Not tetramethylenediammine) no condensation reaction takes place between tetra methylene diammine and adipic acid. It must be typed incorrectly for hexamethylene diammine

This reaction is a polymerisation reaction. It is a condensation reaction.

And it is formed as follows.

in this way nylon 66 is produced in this condensation reaction.

nylon 66 is named because it has 6 carbon atoms in both adipic acid and hexamethylene diammine

And it has trade name also as nylon 66.
