Styrene → GDMA Styrene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Styrene (481.4 g, 4.62 eq.) was weighed into a 2000 ml, three neck, round bottom flask along with TPO (1.52 g). The flask was sealed with rubber stoppers and placed in a 60° C. oven for approximately 20 minutes. The contents were swirled occasionally until the TPO dissolved into the styrene. The flask was removed from the oven and allowed to cool to less than 40° C. at which point GDMA (518.6 g, 4.467 eq.) was weighed into the flask.
