Question

1) Draw the structure for the polymer (repeat unit only) produced from the monomer vinylidene
dichloride (CH₂=CCl₂).
2) One of the most common consumer plastics is PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is used
extensively in containers for food and beverage products. Coca-Cola has recently come up with a biobased
source of ethylene glycol for synthesizing this polymer, however, the terephthalic acid is still derived from
petroleum sources. A sustainable source of terephthalic acid is therefore highly desired. One candidate is
2,5-furandioic acid. Draw the repeat unit for the resulting sustainable polyester derived from 2,5-
furandioic acid and ethylene glycol.
