Azobisisobutyronitrile → HCID 178454695, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 6-ml flask was charged with 0.097 g of pyrithione methacrylate (0.5 mmole), 2.60 ml of methyl methacrylate (24.5 mmole) and 0.083 g of AIBN (0.5 mmole). The flask was sealed and placed in an oven at 80° C. for 16 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the product was diluted with 15 ml of methylene chloride and filtered. The solution was concentrated via roto-evaporation and 2.18 g of the desired product was isolated as a white polymeric material for an 85.5% yield. The structure was confirmed by NMR and IR. Similar results were obtained by employing either acetyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, or lauryl peroxide as the radical initiator.
