p ‐Vinyl benzyl chloride was converted to p ‐vinyl benzyl cyanide which was reduced to p ‐vinyl‐β‐phenyl‐ethylamine with lithium aluminium hydride. The amine gave an insoluble polymer on heating with azo initiator, but soluble polymer was obtained on polymerizing p ‐vinyl‐β‐phenylethylamine hydrochloride in aqueous solution by bisulfite/persulfate initiator. Preliminary pharmacological tests carried out on poly‐ p ‐vinyl‐β‐phenylethylamine hydrochloride and its monomer, showed that the polymer was much more toxic, it showed a tranquilizer/sedative action compared to the monomer which showed excitor symptoms.
