    Abstract: Ketimines, enamines and oxazolidines are moisture labile functional groups that in the presence of water undergo hydrolysis to yield free amines. Within the art such latent amines have found utility in curable compositions where it is desirable to initiate cure in the presence moisture. A number of novel polyketimines, polyenamines, polymeric oxazolidines and oxazolidines are disclosed. In particular, polymeric compounds of the above classes derived from C6 cyclic diketones and polyamines are reported. Suitable C6 cyclic diketones include cyclohexanediones and quinones. The invention further relates to the applications of the materials, such as in moisture cure adhesives.
