Abstract Homopolyaddition reactions of AB-type monomers containing a 2-oxazoline and a phenol group in different positions of the phenyl ring, namely, 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxazoline, 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxazoline, 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxazoline, and 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline, were studied. Except for 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline, the reaction carried out in bulk or a solution of highly boiling solvents resulted in the formation of poly(ether amide)s with molecular weights in the range of 10<SUP>3</SUP> to 10<SUP>4</SUP> as measured by vapor pressure osmometry and gel permeation chromatography. A mechanism of the growth reaction, including a nucleophilic attack of a phenol group to a 2-oxazoline ring in the 5-position, was suggested. The polymerization was accompanied by a side reaction of the amido groups formed by the primary reaction of the 2-oxazoline ring. This led to branching of the main chain. The thermal properties of the prepared polymers were evaluated. &copy; 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 343-355, 2006
