Methacrylic Acid → HCID 11769136, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

CHMA was prepared by the above procedure from cyclohexenyl methanol (200 grams, 1.79 mole), methacrylic acid (137.6 grams, 1.60 mole), p-toluenesulfonic acid (15.2 grams, 80 mmole), MEHQ (8 grams, 5.7 mmole), and toluene (1000 ml) in a 2 liter reaction flask. The aqueous washes were performed with 400 ml portions for each wash. The CHMA was obtained in an amount of 225.9 grams (78% yield). The CHMA was determined to have a boiling point in the range of 64-66° C. at a reduced pressure of 0.3 Torr.
