Interpretation:
The monomers from the following step-growth condensation polymer are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The condensation reaction of the dicarboxylic acid and diamine are employed for the synthesis of polyamide. Ammonia molecule is eliminated and amide linkage is formed. The general reaction for the synthesis of two repeating units of the polymer is,
Here, R is an alkyl group.
