Electronics and printing industry: used as functional intermediates for special coatings or inks.

Synthesis lines:

According to authoritative public information, the typical synthesis method of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (CAS 2867-47-2) is as follows:

1. Esterification method (mainstream industrial route)

Using methyl methacrylate (or ethyl methacrylate) and 2- (dimethylamino) ethanol (DMAE) as raw materials, ester exchange reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst (such as tetrabutyl titanate).

Reaction formula:

CH₂=C(CH₃)COOCH₃ + HOCH₂CH₂N(CH₃)₂ →CH₂=C(CH₃)COOCH₂CH₂N(CH₃)₂ + CH₃OH

2. Direct esterification method

Methacrylic acid and 2- (dimethylamino) ethanol are directly esterified under acidic catalysts (such as p-toluenesulfonic acid) and dehydration conditions.

The generated water needs to be removed to push the equilibrium towards the product direction.

3. Other methods

Some literature mentions the reaction of methacryloyl chloride with DMAE under alkaline conditions, but this method produces many by-products and has limited industrial applications.

During the synthesis process, it is usually necessary to add polymerization inhibitors (such as MEHQ or hydroquinone) to prevent vinyl self polymerization, and the product is purified by vacuum distillation
