Question
Chapter 31.SE, Problem 17MP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Draw the structure of representative unit of polyurethane.
Concept introduction:
We can make polyurethanes with the help of two monomers
In this reaction, a nucleophile (negatively charged molecule) attacks on the monomer unit to give rise to a reactive intermediate. This intermediate again reacts with the monomer unit to give rise to the final
