Synthesis of Benzyl Methacrylate Polymers

Benzyl methacrylate (>98.0%) and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether were obtained from Tokyo Chemical Industry. Ethyl α-bromophenyl acetate (97%) and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene were obtained from Acros Organics. Anhydrous iron(ii) bromide (98%) and iron(iii) bromide (98%) were obtained from Alfa Aesar. N,N-Dimethylformamide (>99%) and 1,3-dichlorobenzene (98%) were obtained from Fluka. Tetrabutylammonium bromide (99%) and anisole (99%) were obtained from Sigma Aldrich and the polystyrene standard (average M_n 180 kDa) was purchased from Supelco. All chemicals were used as received, except the monomer that was passed through a column of basic alumina prior to usage.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
