3-Chloro-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate
3-Chloro-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (CAS: 13159-52-9), with the molecular formula H2C=C(CH3)CO2CH2CH(OH)CH2Cl and a molecular weight of 178.61 g/mol, is a functionalised methacrylate monomer. It serves as a versatile building block in polymer science and organic synthesis. Its reactive methacrylate group allows for polymerisation, while the hydroxy and chloro functionalities offer sites for further chemical modification, making it valuable in materials science applications and the synthesis of specialised polymers.
Polymer Synthesis
This methacrylate monomer can be copolymerised with other vinyl monomers to create polymers with specific properties. The incorporated chloro and hydroxy groups provide reactive sites for post-polymerisation modification, enabling the development of functionalised materials.
Organic Synthesis Intermediate
As an organic building block, it is utilised in multi-step synthesis pathways. The combination of a methacrylate ester, a secondary alcohol, and an alkyl chloride allows for diverse chemical transformations.
Materials Science
It can be used in the development of specialised coatings, adhesives, and resins where tailored functionality is required. The reactive groups facilitate cross-linking or further functionalisation for enhanced material performance.
