A method for the synthesis and purification of a homologous series of symmetrical diamido-diacids derived from D-glucaric acid and six alkylenediamines is described. Treating D-glucaro-6,3-lactone with an equimolar amount of lithium acetate dihydrate yielded lithium D-glucarate-6,3-lactone, which in turn was reacted with six alkylenediamines in dimethyl sulfoxide to give the target diamido-diacids. Six new alternating stereoregular polyamides, head, tail-tail, head-poly(alkylene D-glucaramides), were then synthesized by simple polycondensation reactions between the activated diamido-diacids [6,6'-(N,N'-alkylene)-bis(D-glucaramid-1-oic acid)s] and the alkylenediamines. Number average molecular weights for the polyamides were estimated by H-1 NMR end group analysis. Models for the three-dimensional shape of these alternating stereoregular polymers were produced from a combination of H-1 NMR data, molecular modeling studies performed on D-glucaramide, and crystal structures of various acyclic D-glucaric acid derivatives.
