Methyl 2-phenylacrylate is a synthetic chemical that is used in the production of polymers. It reacts with oxygen to give an oxidative carbonylation product, which consists of a particle and a functional group. The particle can be made insoluble by polymerisation. The reaction mechanism involves the donation of a methyl cinnamate group to the carbonyl group, which has a redox potential and kinetic energy that are sufficient for the reaction to proceed. Methyl 2-phenylacrylate has been used as an initiator for free radical polymerisation, which leads to cross-linked polymers. This initiator also reacts with other functional groups such as phenol or amine groups.

6H-Benzo[C][1,2]benzothiazine 5,5-dioxide is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 169.14.
