Description

2-Methylstyrene is a synthetic compound that is used in the manufacture of various industrial chemicals and plastics. It is produced by the catalytic polymerization of styrene with sodium salts, calcium stearate, and sodium carbonate. 2-Methylstyrene can also be synthesized from chloroacetic acid and hydrogen chloride. This chemical has been shown to undergo cationic polymerization when it reacts with an amine or a hydroxyl group. 2-Methylstyrene is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene or chloroform. It has been used as a film-forming polymer in analytical chemistry due to its high volatility and low viscosity.
