Methyl Methacrylate → HCID 20273141, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

P42 was prepared exactly as P30; however in this polymerization the molar ratio of the two monomers was varied. The tri-n-butyltin methacrylate (174.4 grams, 0.444 mole) was used in a 2:1 molar ratio with the uninhibited methyl methacrylate (20.0 grams, 0.222 mole). Benzoyl peroxide (1% by weight) was used as the initiator for the copolymerization. The product polymer was again a colorless, transparent material which could be cast as a film from the benzene solution.
