Abstract:
1. A compound of the formula wherein R 1 and R 1 ′ each, independently of the other, is (i) an alkyl group having at least one ethylenic unsaturation therein, which can be linear or branched, cyclic or acyclic, and substituted or unsubstituted alkyl groups, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in the alkyl group, (ii) an arylalkyl group having at least one ethylenic unsaturation therein, which can be substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl groups, wherein the alkyl portion of the arylalkyl group can be linear or branched, cyclic or acyclic, and substituted or unsubstituted, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in either the aryl or the alkyl portion of the arylalkyl group, or (iii) an alkylaryl group having at least one ethylenic unsaturation therein, which can be substituted or and unsubstituted alkylaryl groups, wherein the alkyl portion of the alkylaryl group can be linear or branched, cyclic or acyclic, and substituted or unsubstituted, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in either the aryl or the alkyl portion of the alkylaryl group, R 2 and R 2 ′ each, independently of the others, are (i) alkylene groups, which can be linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, cyclic or acyclic, and substituted or unsubstituted alkylene groups, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in the alkylene group, (ii) arylene groups, which can be substituted or unsubstituted arylene groups, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in the arylene group, (iii) arylalkylene groups, which can be substituted or unsubstituted arylalkylene groups, wherein the alkyl portion of the arylalkylene group can be linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, cyclic or acyclic, and substituted or unsubstituted, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in either the aryl or the alkyl portion of the arylalkylene group, or (iv) alkylarylene groups, which can be substituted or unsubstituted alkylarylene groups, wherein the alkyl portion of the alkylarylene group can be linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, cyclic or acyclic, and substituted or unsubstituted, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in either the aryl or the alkyl portion of the alkylarylene group, R 3 is (i) a linear or branched alkylene group, which can be saturated or unsaturated, and substituted and unsubstituted alkylene groups, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in the alkylene group, (ii) an arylene group, which can be substituted or unsubstituted arylene groups, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in the arylene group, (iii) an arylalkylene group, which can be substituted or unsubstituted arylalkylene groups, wherein the alkyl portion of the arylalkylene group can be linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, cyclic or acyclic, and substituted or unsubstituted, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in either the aryl or the alkyl portion of the arylalkylene group, or (iv) an alkylarylene group, which can be substituted or unsubstituted alkylarylene groups, wherein the alkyl portion of the alkylarylene group can be linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, cyclic or acyclic, and substituted or unsubstituted, and wherein hetero atoms either may or may not be present in either the aryl or the alkyl portion of the alkylarylene group, and n is an integer representing the number of repeat amide units and is at least 1.
