(2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-propanediyl)bis(oxy-3,1-propanediyl) bisacrylate(CAS: 84170-74-1)

This compound is an acrylate ester with a low molecular weight and is moderately soluble in common organic solvents. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system. Chemically, it is reactive, particularly towards free radicals, making it suitable for polymerization reactions.

It is typically synthesized through a condensation reaction of diacrylates with diols. The process involves the use of a catalyst such as dibutyltin dilaurate to enhance the reaction rate and selectivity, leading to high yields of the desired product.

This compound is widely used in the polymer industry for the production of polyacrylates. It also finds applications in the pharmaceutical industry for certain drug delivery systems, and in the electronics sector for coatings and adhesives.

Handle in a well-ventilated area or fume hood. Use personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed guidelines on handling and disposal.
