Methacrylic Acid → 1-Butoxyethyl methacrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction procedure of Example 1 was repeated using equimolar amounts of n-butylvinyl ether and methacrylic acid. The structure of the product, 1-n-butoxyethyl methacrylate (Compound C) was obtained in 88% yield. Compound C is an example of a mono-functional alpha-alkoxyalkyl(meth)acrylate which may optionally be included with multi-functional alpha-alkoxyalkyl(meth)acrylate compounds in compositions of the present invention. The structure of Compound C was confirmed by 1H NMR and infrared analysis.
