Find the product in the reaction given below

Find the product in the reaction given below
  1. Rayon
  2. Buna-S
  3. Glyptal
  4. Neoprene

Solution


Glyptal a polyester, is formed by ethylene glycol and phthalic acid formed by step growth polymerisation as shown in the above reaction. Step-growth polymerisation refers to a type of polymerisation mechanism in which bi-functional or multifunctional monomers react to form first dimers, then trimers longer oligomers and eventually long chain polymers. Hence, the correct option is (3).
