2-Acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid → Ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A nitrogen purged 50 ml schlenk flask was charged with freshly distilled tris[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-ethyl]amine (1.69 g, 5.24 mmol) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) (1.09 g, 5.24 mmol) and stirred at ambient temperature for 8 hr or until completely dissolved. Total dissolution completes formation of the AMPS-ammonium salt monomer as a transparent light amber oil in a 99% yield which was used immediately without further purification.
