Azobisisobutyronitrile → HCID 86733927, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction is carried out in a 300 ml, 3-necked flask equipped with a reflux condenser, a thermometer such that it reads the temperature of the vapor, and a magnetic stirrer. Tributyltin methacrylate (0.07 moles), glycidyl methacrylate (0.07 moles) and 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (0.6% by weight) are reacted in 90 ml of toluene. The reaction is refluxed for 16 hours between 75°-80°C. The polymer is a clear, film forming resin which can be cured to a hard film by methanediamine (one equivalent of N-H is used for each equivalent of epoxide in the polymer) after 3 hours at 100°C.
