Product Information

• Name: Di-tert-butyl maleate

Description

Di-tert-butyl maleate is a chemical reagent that is used as an isomerizing agent in the synthesis of copolymers. It has been shown to be useful in the synthesis of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers and styrene-isoprene copolymers. Di-tert-butyl maleate catalyzes the polymerization of styrene with amines and morpholine, which allows for the preparation of styrene monomers for use in techniques such as gel permeation chromatography. In addition, di-tert-butyl maleate can be used to synthesize cholesterol by reacting with an acid catalyst and styrene. This chemical has been investigated as a ligand for copper ions, which may have applications in metal extraction.
