2-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-propenoic acid

Description:
2-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-propenoic acid, commonly known as hydroxyethyl acrylate, is an organic compound characterized by its acrylate structure, which includes a vinyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic acrylate odor. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group enhances its reactivity, allowing it to participate in polymerization processes, which is particularly useful in the production of coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Additionally, it can act as a monomer in the synthesis of polymers and copolymers, contributing to the development of materials with specific properties. The compound is known for its ability to form cross-linked networks, which can improve the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the resulting materials. However, it is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use.
