Beschreibung

Methyl 4-(methoxymethyl)benzoate is a monomer that can be used to synthesize bioplastics. It is dehydrating and has a furanic ring, which makes it a good candidate for polymerization. Methyl 4-(methoxymethyl)benzoate can be used as an alternative to ethylene as the monomer in polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET is a thermoplastic that has been shown to degrade slowly in the environment. The dehydration of methyl 4-(methoxymethyl)benzoate takes place at low temperatures with zirconium, which provides the activation energy needed for this reaction. The dehydration of methyl 4-(methoxymethyl)benzoate also produces 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which can be used as a renewable fuel or chemical feedstock.
