Other manufacturers of vinyl ether polymers and copolymers are ashland and idemitsu kosan.
Methyl vinyl ether hydrolysis.
Methyl vinyl ether is reacted with maleic anhydride to produce the strictly alternating copolymer of various molecular weights in the anhydride form.
S n 1 ether cleavage.
Methyl vinyl ether is an organic compound with the chemical formula ch 3 och ch 2 a colorless gas it is the simplest enol ether it is used as a synthetic building block as is the related compound ethyl vinyl ether a liquid at room temperature.
The vinyl carbonate 13 152 gives only copolymerization the ketene acetal 11 153 and the methyl vinyl ether 14 152 give both copolymerization and chain transfer in styrene polymerization whereas with the benzyl vinyl ethers 12 153 15 8 and 16 18 151 chain transfer is the only reaction detected.
In the example the oxygen atom in methyl tert butyl ether is reversibly protonated.
Rates of hydrolysis of the vinyl ether functional groups of z and e β methoxyacrylic acid and z and e β methoxymethacrylic acid and their methyl esters were measured in aqueous perchloric acid solution additional rate measurements were also made for one substrate z β methoxymethacrylic acid in buffer solutions down to ph 7 and a rate profile was constructed.
Hydrolysis is expected based on hydrolysis half lives of 9 5 hours 40 days and 10 9 years at ph 5 6 and 9 respectively for structurally similar butyl vinyl ether.
Wislicenus who was the first to prepare ethyl vinyl ether also reported on the halogenation hydrolysis and polymerization of this simple enol ether.
The anhydride is converted to the acid form by hydrolysis.
Two simple enol ethers are methyl vinyl ether and 2 3 dihydrofuran.
Vinyl mathrm sp 2 cations are very unstable and an mathrm s n1 type dissociation of meoh is very unlikely.
The unimolecular s n 1 mechanism proceeds via a carbocation provided that the carbocation can be adequately stabilized.
It is nucleophilic on the α carbon and you can protonate it on that carbon almost like you are tautomerising an enol back to a ketone.
