Description

Methyl 3-Methoxyacrylate is a versatile, high-purity ester monomer characterized by its reactive acrylate and methoxy functionalities. This compound is essential for synthesizing advanced polymers and fine chemicals, offering a balance of reactivity and stability for precise chemical transformations. It is a critical raw material for R&D and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries, where it serves as a key building block for creating custom molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A key synthon in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring acrylate-based side chains.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the manufacture of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that incorporate methacrylate structures.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a co-monomer to introduce cross-linking sites, improve solubility, or modify the glass transition temperature (Tg) of acrylic and vinyl polymers.
• UV-Curable Coatings & Inks: Imparts fast curing properties and enhanced adhesion in formulations for coatings, inks, and adhesives.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a versatile Michael acceptor or electrophile in organic synthesis for creating complex esters and other derivatives.
• Specialty Adhesives: Used to formulate high-performance adhesives with tailored flexibility and chemical resistance.

Quality Control

Our Methyl 3-Methoxyacrylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards and can support requirements for cGMP manufacturing upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in opaque or amber packaging during storage and handling.
