Summary
p-Vinylbenzyl methacrylate was synthesized by the phase transfer catalyzed esterification of potassium methacrylate with p-chloromethylstyrene. p-Vinylbenzyl methacrylate was homopolymerized and copolymerized with methyl methacrylate by group transfer polymerization through the methacryloyl group, resulting in reactive polymethacrylates containing pendant styrene groups.
