Cyclohexyl methacrylate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Cyclohexyl Methacrylate (CHMA) is a very useful starting material for chemical synthesis since it easily undergoes addition reactions with a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. The compound is an ester of Methacrylic acid and is used as a raw material component in synthesizing polymers. It is a monofunctional monomer consisting of a methacrylate group with a characteristic high reactivity and a cyclic hydrophobic group. Copolymers of CHMA can be prepared with (meth)acrylic acid and its salts, amides, and esters and with (meth)acrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters, and drying oils, etc.

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid

Uses

Cyclohexyl methacrylate (CHMA) is mainly used in coatings, plastics, textiles, leather, and paper industries as a solution polymerization, suspension polymerization monomer, or comonomer.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Purification Methods

Purify as for methyl methacrylate (p 164). [Tong & Kenyon J Am Chem Soc 68 1355 1946, Beilstein 6 III 25, 6 IV 39.]
