Description

2-Vinylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (VCPD) is a molecule that is synthesized by the nucleophilic attack of an alcohol on the double bond of a cyclopropane ring. VCPD is used in the production of polymers and copolymers. VCPD can be copolymerized with other monomers such as styrene, chloromethylstyrene, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride and butadiene to produce various types of polymers. The polymerization process involves three steps: initiation, propagation and termination. Initiation takes place when persulfate is added to VCPD and water at high temperature. The polymerization process ends when there are no more VCPD molecules available for reaction or when all the monomers have been consumed during the reaction.
