Methacrylic Acid → 3-Hydroxy-1-adamantyl acrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methacrylic acid (0.775 g, 9 mmol), 3-hydroxy-1 adamantylmethacrylate (1.42 g, 6 mmol), 9-anthrylmethylmethacrylate (1.38 g, 5 mmol) in 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) was added 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile (0.16 g, 1 mmol). The resulting solution was purged by nitrogen for 30 minutes before it was heats to 72° C. for 18 hours under nitrogen. The solution was then cooled to room temperature and added drop-wise into 400 mL of de-ionized water. The solid was filtered with a frit funnel, washed with water (2×200 ml) and dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. for 24 hours to afford 3.1 gram of P1 as white solid.
