2-Propenoic acid, 3-[bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-, methyl ester

Description:

2-Propenoic acid, 3-[bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-, methyl ester, commonly known as a methacrylate compound, is characterized by its structure which includes a methacrylic acid backbone with a bulky bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl group. This compound typically exhibits properties such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the methacrylate functional group allows it to participate in polymerization reactions, making it useful in the production of various polymers and copolymers. Additionally, it may exhibit moderate to high reactivity under UV light or heat, which is advantageous in applications such as coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause skin and eye irritation. Overall, this compound is significant in the field of materials science and polymer chemistry.
