2-Carboxyethyl acrylate Structural

What is 2-Carboxyethyl acrylate?

Description

2-Carboxyethyl acrylate is a highly versatile monomer extensively used to produce diverse polymers. It can be polymerized in solution or emulsion, producing vinyl-acrylic, acrylic, or styrenic-acrylic polymers with greater flexibility due to lower glass transition of itshomopolymer (<30C) and improved adhesion. It finds applications in various polymer production processes, including those geared towards optical applications like optical fibers, optical waveguides, and optical lenses. Moreover, 2-Carboxyethyl acrylate is instrumental in synthesizing polymers used in energy storage applications, such as fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors. 2-carboxyethyl acrylate could be used as a new monomer in the gel casting of alumina. This low-toxic, water-soluble monomer modifies the ceramic suspensions' rheological properties and minimizes the oxygen inhibition's negative effect [1-3].

Colorless to light yellow viscid liquid

The Uses of 2-Carboxyethyl acrylate

2-Carboxyethyl Acrylate is used in the preparation of DNase enzyme derivatives that act as potent preventative material of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation in biomaterials.

What are the applications of Application

2-Carboxyethyl acrylate is used to produce vinyl-acrylic, acrylic, or styrenic-acrylic polymers

What are the applications of Application

2-Carboxyethyl acrylate can be polymerized in solution or emulsion to produce acrylic, vinyl acrylic, or styrene acrylic polymers, which are distinguished by their low glass transition temperatures (<30°C) as homopolymers. Greater elasticity, as well as improved adhesion.

Preparation

Synthesis of 1-ethoxyethyl acrylate (EEA) and protected 2-carboxyethyl acrylate (proCEA)
EEA and proCEA were synthesized following a previously published procedure and distilled prior to use. For the synthesis of proCEA (Figure 1), phosphoric acid (109 mg, 1.11 mmol) was weighed into a dry round bottom flask in a glovebox and then taken outside the glovebox, taking care that the phosphoric acid stayed dry. 2-Carboxyethyl acrylate (80 g, 555 mmol) and ethyl vinyl ether (48 g, 666 mmol) were added and the reaction was stirred for two days at room temperature. Hydrotalcite (Mg6Al2(OH)16CO3·4H2O, ~1 g) was added, stirred for one hour and filtered off. Excess ethyl vinyl ether was removed under reduced pressure and the product was distilled under reduced pressure (80 °C, 1.3 mbar).
