Polymerization of 1-allenylpyrroles

1-Allenylpyrroles are polymerized under the conditions of thermal (60 °C) and radical initiation at both 1,2- and 2,3-positions of the allenyl group to form soluble reactive polymers with various ethylenic, including polyvinylic, fragments. The possibility to prepare 1-allenylpyrrole copolymers has been demonstrated using 1-vinylpyrrolidone and ethylene glycol vinylglycidyl ether as an example. Doped layers based on poly-1-allenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole are photosensitive.
