1-tert-butylcyclopentyl methacrylate

Description:

1-tert-Butylcyclopentyl methacrylate is an organic compound characterized by its methacrylate functional group, which is known for its ability to undergo polymerization. This substance features a tert-butyl group attached to a cyclopentyl ring, contributing to its steric bulk and influencing its physical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The presence of the methacrylate group allows for reactivity in free radical polymerization, making it useful in the production of various polymers and copolymers. Its structure imparts certain characteristics such as increased hydrophobicity and thermal stability, which can enhance the performance of materials in applications like coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Additionally, the compound's molecular structure may affect its solubility in different solvents, as well as its compatibility with other monomers in polymer formulations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
