Hexane → 4-Acetoxystyrene t-butyl methacrylate benzyl methacrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 2-liter flask charged with 600 g of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate was heated until the internal temperature of the flask became 80° C. Then, 2.30 g (0.01 mol) of polymerization initiator V-601 was added thereto and agitated for five minutes. Subsequently, the above monomer mixture solution was dropped into this solution over a period of six hours. After the completion of the dropping, the mixture was further heated and agitated for two hours. Thereafter, the reaction liquid was cooled to room temperature. After the cooling, the reaction liquid was dropped into three liters of hexane, thereby precipitating a polymer. The polymer solid was collected by filtration and dissolved in 500 g of acetone. This solution was dropped once more into three liters of hexane, and the thus obtained solid was collected by filtration and dried in vacuum. Thus, 151 g of poly(4-acetoxystyrene/t-butyl methacrylate/benzyl methacrylate) was obtained.
