Production Methods

Isobutyl methacrylate is produced by the esterification or transesterification of isobutyl alcohol with either methacrylic acid or methyl methacrylate .

Air & Water Reactions

Flammable. Isobutyl methacrylate is sensitive to heat, air and light.

Reactivity Profile

Isobutyl methacrylate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Isobutyl methacrylate polymerizes readily.

Hazard

Moderate fire risk.

Health Hazard

May be harmful if inhaled; may cause dizziness or suffocation. Irritating to skin and eyes. Harmful if swallowed.

Multi-scale promoting effects of lead for palladium catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of methylacrolein with methanol

A highly efficient Pd2Pb8/alumina catalyst was prepared, which provided the highest turnover number (TON) of 302 for aerobic oxidative coupling of methylacrolein with methanol. The enhanced catalytic efficiency could be attributed to the multi-scale (micron, nano and atom scales) promoting effects of the pre-loaded Pb species. This journal is

IMPROVED METHOD FOR THE CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF ALKYL(METH)ACRYLATES WITH MULTIPLE CATALYST RECYCLING

The invention relates to an improved method for the continuous production of alkyl(methyl)acrylates by transesterification of methyl(meth)acrylate with alcohols that are heavy in comparison with methanol. A special processing technique makes it possible to obtain new levels of product quality. Very high space-time-overall yields can also be obtained. The invention is characterized by the multiple use of a homogeneous catalyst which thereby reduces the costs of auxiliary agents significantly.
