Description

3,4-Dimethoxy styrene (DMS) is a phenolic compound that contains an ether linkage between two aromatic rings. It is used as a monomer for the production of polymers such as cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, and ammonium nitrate. DMS reacts with sodium dodecyl sulfate to form an ionic surfactant in a reaction that has been shown to be first order with respect to both reactants. The activation energy for this reaction is determined by the redox potentials of DMS and sodium dodecyl sulfate. In addition, DMS can be methoxylated to form 3-methoxy styrene (MMS), which can then undergo cationic polymerization or cationic surfactant reactions to produce products such as divinylbenzene or methacrylic acid respectively.
