Hydroxy functional acrylates: enzymatic synthesis and free radical polymerization

Hydroxy functional acrylates were prepared via transacylation of methyl acrylate with 1,2,6-hexanetriol catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B. Under the applied reaction conditions, 70% of the substrate was converted into hydroxy functional acrylates. In a subsequent step, after filtration of the...

Description
Summary:Hydroxy functional acrylates were prepared via transacylation of methyl acrylate with 1,2,6-hexanetriol catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B. Under the applied reaction conditions, 70% of the substrate was converted into hydroxy functional acrylates. In a subsequent step, after filtration of the enzyme, the monomer mixture containing methyl acrylate and the new monomers was polymerized via free radical polymerization resulting in a functional copolymer with M-n = 14500 g/mol.
