synopsisA series of monomeric etherified methylolated melamines were prepared and characterized by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. Gel permeation chromatographic analysis permits a rapid and accurate determination of the monomer and polymer content of the products. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy permits the qualitative identification of the etherifying alcohols and a quantitative estimation of the alkoxy groups present. The molar ratios of alcohols necessary to produce products having specific alkoxy contents are presented graphically.
