- Method for synthesizing alkyl (meth) acrylate
-
The invention discloses a synthesis method of alkyl (meth) acrylate, and belongs to the field of organic chemical synthesis. The synthesis method of the present invention employs a heterogeneous solid acid catalyst. The polymerization inhibitor and (meth) acrylic acid were put into the reaction kettle and heated to 50 - 90 °C, and an epoxide was introduced into the reaction kettle for reaction. The reaction solution is filtered to remove the homogeneous solid acid catalyst and the rectification to obtain the target product. The synthesis method not only can improve the selectivity of a target product (methyl) acrylic acid alkyl ester, but also can effectively inhibit the generation of high-boiling-point double esters of by-products generated by the addition of bis (methyl) acrylic acid.

- Free radical and nitroxide mediated polymerization of hydroxy-functional acrylates prepared via lipase-catalyzed transacylation reactions
-
3-Hydroxypropyl acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, 2-methyl-3-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, neopentyl glycol acrylate, glyceryl acrylate, and dihydroxyhexyl acrylate were prepared via transacylation reaction of methyl acrylate with diols and triols catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B. After removal of the enzyme by filtration and the methyl acrylate by distillation, the monomers were polymerized via free radical polymerization (FRP) with azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator and nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP) employing Blocbuilder alkoxyamine initiator and SG-1 free nitroxide resulting in hydroxy functional poly(acrylates). The NMP kinetics are discussed in detail. In addition, the polymers obtained by FRP and NMP are compared and the results are related to the amount of bisacrylates that are present in the initial monomer mixtures resulting from the transacylation reactions

- Hydroxy functional acrylate and methacrylate monomers prepared via lipase-catalyzed transacylation reactions
-
Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B, Novozyme 435) catalyzes the transacylation of methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate with diols and triols in 2-methyl-2-butanol at 50 °C. Under the experimental conditions, up to 70 mol% of the acyl donor methyl acrylate was converted. Methyl methacrylate is the less efficient acyl donor (up to 60 mol%) due to the higher sterical hindrance in the enzymatic transacylation. Under the reaction conditions high yields of the mono-acylated products are obtained, which contain minor amounts of bis(meth)acrylates. In addition it was observed that Novozyme 435 catalyzes regioselectively the acylation of the primary hydroxyl groups. In comparison with the chemical catalyzed route no selectivity was observed for unsubstituted diols. For substituted diols more mono-acylated product was formed in the lipase-catalyzed reaction than in the chemical catalyzed reaction.

- PURIFICATION OF 1,3-PROPANEDIOL BY DISTILLATION
-
The present invention is a process for purification of 1,3-propanediol (PDO) by an inverted distillation sequence which comprises: (a) optionally removing water or other solvents from the crude 1,3-propanediol mixture; (b) distilling the crude 1,3-propanediol mixture under conditions which maximize the separation of components of the mixture which are heavier than 1,3-propanediol from the 1,3-propanediol and the components which are lighter than 1,3-propanediol; (c) drawing off a stream which contains at least most of the 1,3-propanediol and at least some of the components of the mixture which are lighter than 1,3-propanediol; and (d) distilling the stream of (c) to separate the 1,3-propanediol from components in the stream which are lighter than 1,3-propanediol and any residual components which are heavier than 1,3-propanediol.

- High solids acrylic coating systems
-
High solids acrylic coating compositions are formulated by using as a reactive diluent, a low molecular weight hydroxyl-containing acrylic polymer. These polymers are prepared at about 15°-20° C. with anionic initiator concentrations greater than about 5 mole percent.
