On the synthesis of methacryloyloxyacetic acid

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Methacryloyloxyacetic acid (I) is synthesized in 80% yield from its tert-butyl ester (IV) by the acid catalyzed E1 elimination of the tert-butyl group in dilute acetonitrile solution. The repoted route to I is an improvement to previous methods in both yield and product purity. Copolymers of I with tert-butylstyrene (TBS) prepared by free radical methods are reported.
