Investigations on a new class of polyamides obtained by interfacial polycondensation from amine-chloral derivatives, e.g., 2,2-bis(p-aminophenyl)-1,1,1-trichloromethane or 2,2-bis(p-aminophenyl)-1, 1-dichloroethylene and terephthaloyl chloride, have been carried out. It was found that the interfacial process proceeds in the most advantageous way in acidic medium at 0°C using equivalent volume amounts and equimolar concentrations of methylene chloride and water phases in the presence of a stoichiometric quantity of triethylamine as the hydrogen acceptor.
