Abstract
p‐Vinyl benzyl chloride was converted to p‐vinyl benzyl cyanide which was reduced to p‐vinyl‐β‐phenyl‐ethylamine with lithium aluminium hydride. The amine gave an insoluble polymer on heating with azo initiator, but soluble polymer was obtained on polymerizing p‐vinyl‐β‐phenylethylamine hydrochloride in aqueous solution by bisulfite/persulfate initiator. Preliminary pharmacological tests carried out on poly‐p‐vinyl‐β‐phenylethylamine hydrochloride and its monomer, showed that the polymer was much more toxic, it showed a tranquilizer/sedative action compared to the monomer which showed excitor symptoms.
