Toluene → tert-Butylacrylamide

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 50.0 g of t-butylacrylamide and 250 ml of toluene was heated at 80° C. with stirring under a nitrogen atmosphere in a 500 ml three-necked flask. 10 ml of a toluene solution containing 500 mg of azobisisobutyronitrile was added thereto as a polymerization initiator thereby polymerization was initiated. After polymerization for 3 hours, the polymerization solution was cooled and poured into 1 liter of hexane. The solids thus-deposited were collected by filtration, washed with hexane and dried with heating under a reduced pressure to obtain 47.9 g of P-17.
