Hexamethylene diamine, H 2 N(CH 2 ) 6 NH 2 , and adipic acid, HOOC(CH 2 ) 4 COOH, a dicarboxylic acid, undergo

Hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid undergo condensation polymerization, where molecules join together, losing small molecules as by-products, typically water. This process is characteristic of the formation of nylon, a type of polyamide, from these specific reactants.
