4-Ethenylphenyl acetate

Description4-Acetoxystyrene can be used to synthesize Poly(p-hydroxystyrene) as the main component of photoresist. The chemically amplified photoresist of the poly(p-hydroxystyrene) series is currently the mainstream photoresist product in the world, and it is one of the key technologies for processing photo-etched integrated circuits and manufacturing chips.

Uses4-Acetoxystyrene is a stable Styrene monomer which can be readily polymerized and copolymerized to low, medium and high molecular weight polymers. Undergoes free radical polymerization, similar to styrene.

PreparationThe preparation of 4-Acetoxystyrene is as follows:Add p-hydroxystyrene (120g) to a 2L four-neck bottle. triethylamine(106g), phenothiazine (1.2g), Methyl tert-butyl ether (480 g), Dry ice-ethanol bath to -5 to 0 °C, acetyl chloride (86g) was added dropwise with stirring. The internal temperature is controlled at -5 to 0 °C. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the temperature was raised at 10 to 20 °C to continue the reaction for 1 hour. Sampling analysis (central control 1, raw material After completion of the reaction, the mixture was filtered, and the cake was washed with methyl t-butyl ether (50 g × 3). The filtrate was quenched by the addition of 4 g of methanol, and the reaction was stirred for 10 minutes. After completion, phenothiazine (1.2 g) was added and the reaction mixture was concentrated.Methyl tert-butyl ether (580 g) was recovered to give a crude product (160 g).The crude product was distilled under reduced pressure to give the product, p-acetoxy styrene (142 g), yield 87.7%, and sampled for analysis (main content >99%).
