Glycerol → 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl prop-2-enoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using 0.3 g (0.003 mole) of sulfuric acid as a catalyst, 72 g (1 mole) of acrylic acid was reacted with 92 g (1 mole) of glycerol. The reaction mixture was neutralized with 0.34 g (0.006 mole) of potassium hydroxide, and 0.15 g (0.1 mass %) of hydroquinon was added as a stabilizer. Thus, glycerol monoacrylate (A1—1) was obtained.
