There is disclosed a novel poly-.beta.-alanine compound comprising monomeric units of the formula --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CONH-- and monomeric units of the formula ##STR1## in a specific proportion, having a high degree of polymerization and which is essentially free from metal contamination. The novel poly-.beta.-alanine is produced by polymerizing acrylamide using a alkaline earth metal alcholate catalyst in an extremely limited amount. The novel compound has a wide variety of uses, and is especially useful as a thermal stabilizer for a polyacetal resin.

A compound of the formula, ##STR1## wherein R is an aromatic compound selected from the group consisting of: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 which may be the same or different, are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, a C.sub.1-2 alkyl group and a C.sub.1-2 alkoxy group and wherein Y is --SO.sub.2 --, --O--, --S--, --CO--, --N.dbd.N-- or --NHCO--; X is a halogen atom selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine, and fluorine; and n is zero or an integer of from 1 to 4. The compound is useful for pigments having hue from the yellow shade to the red shade and having especially high chroma. The pigments also have improved weather resistance, chemical resistance and tinting strength.
