2-Chloroethanol → 2-Chloroethyl methacrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloroethanol of 6.7 ml (0.1 mol) and 8.9 ml (0.2 mol) of pyridine were added to 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran. A solution in which 10.7 ml (0.11 mol) of methacryl chloride was dissolved in 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise in 30 minutes to the resulting solution, stirred at room temperature for one hour, and mixed with water. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extraction solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 2-chloroethyl methacrylate. DABCO of 11.2 g (0.1 mol) and 11.5 g (0.1 mol) of benzyl chloride were added to 100 ml of ethanol and heated under reflux for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered off to obtain a solid, and the solid was washed with acetone to obtain N-ethyl-DABCO monoammonium chloride (Compound D). Compound D of 11.9 g (0.05 mol), 7.4 g (0.05 mol) of 2-chloroethyl methacrylate, and 0.9 g (0.005 mol) of t-butylcatechol were added to 50 ml of ethanol and heated under reflux for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered off to obtain a solid, and the solid was washed with acetone to obtain 10.5 g of ASM-4. The chemical structure of ASM-4 was confirmed according to 1H-NMR and IR.
