Acryloyl chloride → Acrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the case of an α-chloroacrylate monomer, an acrylate is synthesized by the reaction of acrylic acid chloride with an alcohol corresponding to the ester to be prepared or with its alkali salt, and reacted with chlorine gas to obtain an α,β-dichloropropionate, and then an equimolar amount of quinoline or pyridine is added thereto and the mixture is subjected to distillation under reduced pressure or to refluxing, followed by filtration, extraction and separation by column chromatography, to obtain a desired α-chloroacrylate monomer.
