tert-Butyl acrylate → t-Butyl acrylate ethylene

Participants

Reaction Steps

The composition of the copolymers was determined by 13C-NMR in CDCl3. The acrylate ester content was calculated by averaging the integral values for the acrylate carbonyl and quarternary carbon of t-butyl group. Ethylene content is then obtained by correcting the total aliphatic integral for the t-butyl acrylate integration. Furthermore, acrylate-centered traits were quantified by integration of three clusters of methine resonances: EAE: 46.5, EAA/AAE: 44.2, AAA: 42.2 ppm. The copolymer was found to have 76 mol % t-butyl acrylate with EAE:EAA/AAE:AAA=8:38:53.
