Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of modified poly-N-vinylpyrrolid-2-one containing two identical reactive groups, wherein polyvinylpyrrolidone is treated with complex hydrides, with or without further reaction of the modified polyvinylpyrrolidone with a reactive bifunctional compound, to give a polymer which has a molecular weight at least 2.5 times as great as that of the starting polymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A process for the preparation of a linear N-vinylpyrrolid-2-one polymer of increased molecular weight and which contains ester groups or urethane groups as bridge members wherein (1) a poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone obtained by a process in which a polymer obtained by the free radical polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolid-2-one in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as the free radical initiator is treated with a complex hydride to form a polymer having two identical reactive end groups is cooled and then reacted with (2) a bifunctional compound which contains reactive groups and which is selected from the group consisting of phosgene, oxalyl chloride, malonyl chloride, succinyl chloride, glutaric acid dichloride, sebacic acid dichloride, phthalic acid dichloride, terephthalic acid dichloride, toluylene diisocyanate, hexamthylene diisocyanate and methylene-bis-cyclohexyl diisocyanate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A process for the preparation of a linear N-vinylpyrrolid-2-one polymer of increased molecular weight and which contains ester groups or urethane groups as bridge members wherein (1) a poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone obtained by a process in which a polymer obtained by the free radical polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolid-2-one in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as the free radical initiator is treated with a complex hydride to form a polymer having two identical reactive end groups is cooled and then reacted with (2) a bifunctional compound which contains reactive groups and which is selected from the group consisting of phosgene, oxalyl chloride, malonyl chloride, succinyl chloride, glutaric acid dichloride, sebacic acid dichloride, phthalic acid dichloride, terephthalic acid dichloride, toluylene diisocyanate, hexamthylene diisocyanate and methylene-bis-cyclohexyl diisocyanate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the identical reactive end groups are hydroxy groups.
