Synthesis and Radical Copolymerization of Trisubstituted Ethylenes With Styrene. 6. Alkoxy, Phenoxy, and Cyano Ring-Substituted Methyl-2-Cyano-3-Phenyl-2-Propenoates

Synthesis and copolymerization of novel oxy ring-substituted isopropyl cyanoarylacrylates

“…We have reported earlier synthesis and styrene copolymerization of oxy ring-substituted methyl [19][20][21][22][23][24], ethyl [25][26][27], propyl [28][29][30][31], butyl [32][33][34], isobutyl [35][36][37], methoxyethyl [38,39], and octyl [40][41][42] cyanoarylacrylates. In continuation of our exploration of novel trisubstituted ethylene compounds we have prepared isopropyl oxy ring-substituted cyanoarylacrylates, ICAA, RPhCH=C(CN)CO2CH(CH3)2, where R is 3-phenoxy, 4phenoxy, 2-benzyloxy, 3-benzyloxy, 4-benzyloxy, 4-acetyloxy, 3-acetyl, 4-acetyl, 4acetylamino, 4-methoxy-2-methyl, 4-methoxy-3-methyl, 3-ethoxy-4-methoxy, 3,4dibenzyloxy, 3-benzyloxy-4-methoxy, 4-benzyloxy-3-methoxy, 2,3-dimethyl-4-methoxy, 2,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy, 2,4-dimethoxy-3-methyl, 2,4-dimethoxy-6-methyl, 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy, and copolymerized with styrene.…”
