Methacryloyl Chloride Lab Report
Methacryloyl chloride was prepared according to the process reported in the literature [94]. A mixture of methacrylic acid (0.1 mole), benzoyl chloride (0.2 mole) and hydroquinone (0.00025 mole) was distilled at a fairly high rate through an efficient column. The pure methacryloyl chloride was distilled out at 90-95ºC.
With certain modifications in the reaction procedure, CMPMA was synthesized as reported in literature [11]. Dimethylformamide (DMF) (200 ml) and tri-ethyl amine (TEA) (0.20 mole) were added to a one liter three necked flask equipped with stirrer, thermometer and guard tube and the contents were stirred for 30 minutes. 4-chloro-3-methylphenol (0.20 mole) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was heated to 60ºC
