tert-Butyl methacrylate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid

Uses

tert-Butyl methacrylate (tert-BMA) can be used in the formation of homo and block copolymers by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) for potential usage in coatings, biomaterials and flocculants.

General Description

A colorless liquid with an ester like odor. Flash point below 141°F. Less dense than water and insoluble in water.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

TERT-BUTYL METHACRYLATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

Health Hazard

Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

Flammability and Explosibility

Flammable

Purification Methods

Purify as for butyl acrylate. [Beilstein 2 IV 1582.]
