Methyl Benzoin → Cinnamyl methacrylate 1-naphthyl methacrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.00 g poly(cinnamyl methacrylate/-1-naphthyl methacrylate), 1.50 g 1-naphthyl methacrylate, 0.25 g p-xylylene diacrylate, 0.40 g benzoin methyl ether, 0.05 g 20% nitrosocyclohexane dimer in 1-chloronaphthalene, and 3.00 g xylene was prepared. Poly(cinnamyl methacrylate/1-naphthyl methacrylate) was prepared by thermally copolymerizing equal parts of cinnamyl methacrylate and 1-naphthyl methacrylate in a benzene solution using an azonitrile initiator. The polymer was precipitated from solution and washed prior to use.
