Hydroquinone → HCID 19426206, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 200 ml of chloroform were dissolved 15.0 g (48.6 mmol) of the compound (2), 60.0 g (697 mmol) of methacrylic acid, 2.0 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid, and 3.0 g of hydroquinone as polymerization inhibitor. The whole was refluxed for 13 hours under removing water formed. Then, after removal of solvent, the reaction mixture was poured into a plenty of ice-water, and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and dried after washing with water. The obtained white solid was recrystallized from acetone to obtain 14.5 g of p-(11-methacryloxyundecyloxy)benzoic acid (3) (yield: 78.9%).
