Jing, Chu published the artcileThermal decomposition of methacrylate polymers containing tert-butoxycarbonyl moiety, Name: Dodecyl 2-methylacrylate, the main research area is tert butoxycarbonyloxy ethyl methacrylate polymer thermal degradation.
In organic synthesis and polymer materials chem., a tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) group is often used as one of tools for the protection of functional groups. In this study, we carried out radical polymerization of 2-(tert-butoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl methacrylate (BHEMA) and copolymerizations of BHEMA with Me methacrylate (MMA), Bu methacrylate (nBMA), iso-Bu methacrylate (iBMA), tert-Bu methacrylate (tBMA), dodecyl methacrylate (DMA), α-methylstyrene (AMS), and limonene (Lim) as the 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomers and investigated the thermal decomposition behavior of the obtained polymers. On the basis of the results of thermogravimetric (TG) anal. in nitrogen at the heating rate of 10 °C/min, it was revealed that the deprotection of the BOC group in the polymer side chains occurred at ca. 200 °C accompanying the quant. elimination of isobutene and carbon dioxide, independent of the structures of the repeating units. The following main-chain decomposition of the residual copolymers resulted in a small amount of residue less than 1% at 500 °C. Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) was synthesized via the deprotection of the BOC group of PBHEMA.
Polymer Degradation and Stability published new progress about Activation energy. 142-90-5 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Dodecyl 2-methylacrylate, and the molecular formula is C16H30O2, Name: Dodecyl 2-methylacrylate.
