Application

Methacryloyl chloride is used in the manufacture of polymers:Monomer 2-methacrylamido-caprolactam was prepared by reacting methacryloyl chloride with racemic a-amino-e-caprolactam.Functional monomer was prepared by reacting methacryloyl chloride and L-histidine.A series of amide monomers were synthesized by amidation of methacryloyl chloride with amines and grafted onto commercial poly(ether sulfone) (PES) membranes using irradiation from atmospheric pressure plasma (APP).Reaction of methacryloyl chloride with the hydroxyl groups on the surfaces of HEMA/NVP microspheres was performed, leading to the introduction of polymerisable double bonds onto the surfaces of microspheres.Star-shaped poly(d,l-lactide) oligomers with 2, 3 and 6 arms were synthesised, end-functionalised with methacryloyl chloride and photo-crosslinked in the presence of ethyl lactate as a non-reactive diluent.

General description

Methacryloyl chloride is the clear to slightly colored acid chloride of methacrylic acid. Monomethyl ether hydroquinone is added as a stabilizer to prevent auto polymerization. Reaction with diisopropyl ether in presence of metal salts is rigorous.
