Uses

Used in Coatings Industry:
2-(Perfluorobutyl)ethyl methacrylate is used as a monomer for the production of fluorinated latexes, which are then used in the coatings industry to create water and oil repellent coatings with excellent durability and chemical resistance.
Used in Environmental Studies:
2-(Perfluorobutyl)ethyl methacrylate, along with Perfluorodecylethyl Methacrylate (P286590), is one of the pollutants studied in the Great Lakes, highlighting its relevance in environmental research and the need for monitoring and controlling its release into the environment.

Method for Producing Fluorine-Containing Alkyl (Meth)Acrylate

The present invention discloses a method for producing a fluorine-containing alkyl (meth)acrylate represented by the following general formula (2): [in-line-formulae]Rf—(CH2)k-[-A-(CH2)l—]m—OCOCR═CH2??(2)[/in-line-formulae] (wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group), characterized by reacting a fluorine-containing alcohol represented by the following general formula (1): [in-line-formulae]Rf—(CH2)k-[-A-(CH2)l—]m—OH??(1)[/in-line-formulae] (wherein Rf is a perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 21 carbon atoms; A is S, SO or SO2; k is 0, 1 or 2; 1 is k, 2 or 3; m is 0 or 1; however, a case of k=0 and m=0 is excluded), (meth)acrylic acid, anda sulfonic acid halide in the presence of a base containing at least one kind of tertiary amine.

Synthesis and characterization of semifluorinated polymers via group transfer polymerization

Group transfer polymerization (GTP) was used to prepare semifluorinated polymers based on acrylic and methacrylic monomers. In the first case, electrophilic catalyzed GTP was applied with 1-methoxy-2-methyl-1-trimethylsilyloxy-1-propene (MMTP) as initiator, zinc iodide as catalyst and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl acrylate as monomer. In this way it has been possible to obtain oligomers. Higher molecular weight polymers were prepared by means of the nucleophilic tetrabutylammonium benzoate as catalyst. With MMTP as initiator, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoroalkyl methacrylates, F(CF2)m(CH2)2OCOC(CH3)=CH2, were polymerized to molecular weights > 4.5 kg mol-1. The polydispersity was found to depend strongly on the length of the perfuoroalkyl side chain, i.e. Mw/Mn decreases with increasing m.
