2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate → HCID 20136850, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tributyltin methoxide (5 g; 0.0155M) and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (1.8 g; 0.0155M) were mixed together in a round bottom flask which was then put on a rotary evaporator for 0.5 hr to strip off the methanol produced. 6.5 g (100% of theory) of the title compound was obtained. The product was subjected to infrared and NMR spectral analysis and the results are summarised in Table S1 below. In the NMR spectrum a small peak at δ=3.8 was observed which was assigned to residual unreacted tributyltin methoxide.
