Vinylbenzyl chloride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) is also called (chloromethyl)ethenylbenzene or α-chloromethylstyrene. It is a difunctional monomer with both a polymerizable double bond and a benzylic chlorine, and is an isomeric mixture made by the chlorination of VT. VBC has a high boiling point(98.9 ℃ at 1.3 kPa) and low flammability.

Uses

Vinylbenzyl chloride can be transformed into a high molecular mass homopolymer, will copolymerize with many other monomers, and is used as comonomer in a variety of specialty plastics. It is also possible to carry out reactionson the chloromethyl group, either before or after polymerization.

Uses

Vinylbenzyl Chloride can be used for acrylic emulsion pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.

Uses

Vinylbenzyl chloride can be used as organic synthesis intermediate and pharmaceutical intermediate, mainly used in laboratory research and development process and chemical production process.
