Compound having the formula ##EQU1## WHEREIN Y is --XCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --X--, --X(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 X).sub.2 or ##EQU2## p is 1 to 4, and each X is O or NH, N-alkanoyl, N-benzoyl wherein the benzene ring is optionally substituted with --NO.sub.2, --NH.sub.2, or --CH.sub.3, N-alkyl or N-.beta.-hydroxyalkyl each of up to 8 carbons and wherein the total number of N is 1 to 3 are disclosed. The compounds can be polymerized by opening of the oxetane ring in the presence of electrophilic agents, or the oxetane ring can be hydrolyzed to a dihydroxy group and reacted with diacid halides to form polyesters or with diisocyanates to form polyurethanes. Both monomers and polymers complex metal ions and can be used to separate such ions from solutions.
本发明涉及一种化合物,其
化学式为##EQU1##其中Y为--XCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --X--,--X(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 X).sub.2或##EQU2##p为1至4,每个X为O或NH,N-烷酰基,N-苯甲酰基,其中苯环可选地被取代为--NO.sub.2,--NH.sub.2或--CH.sub.3,N-烷基或N-.beta.-羟基烷基,每个碳原子数最多为8,N的总数为1至3。这些化合物可以通过在亲电试剂存在下打开氧杂
