Product Information

• Name: Butyl vinyl ether
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Butyl vinyl ether is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of quinoline derivatives. It is synthesized by the reaction of butyl alcohol with ethylene oxide. Butyl vinyl ether can be used as a model system for studying the redox potentials of quinoline derivatives and their reactivity with polyvinyl compounds. The polymerization reaction of butyl vinyl ether with cationic polymerization initiators has been shown through nmr spectra and radiation experiments to proceed via an ionic mechanism rather than an electron transfer mechanism. This reaction proceeds through two steps: first, the formation of an alkoxide ion from the hydroxyl group; second, protonation of this ion by a methyl ketone molecule to form a vinyl ether.
