Methyl acrylate can be prepared by debromination of methyl 2,3-dibromopropanoate with zinc. [10] Methyl acrylate is formed in good yield on pyrolysis of methyl lactate in the presence of ethenone (ketene). [11] Methyl lactate is a renewable "green chemical". Another patent [12] describes the dehydration of methyl lactate over zeolites.
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a synthetic polymer derived from methyl methacrylate. It is a transparent thermoplastic , used as an engineering plastic . PMMA is also known as acrylic , acrylic glass , as well as by the trade names and brands Crylux , Hesalite , Plexiglas , Acrylite , Lucite , and Perspex , among several others ( see below ).
Heating the polymer causes depolymerization of the cured MCA, producing gaseous products which are a strong irritant to the lungs and eyes.With regard to occupational exposure to MCA, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommends workers do not exceed exposures over 2 ppm (8 mg/m 3) over an eight-hour workshift, or over 4 ppm (16 mg/m 3) over a short-term exposure.
CH 2 =C(CH 3)CN + H 2 SO 4 + H 2 O → CH 2 =C(CH 3)−CONH 2 ·H 2 SO 4 CH 2 =C(CH 3)−CONH 2 ·H 2 SO 4 + CH 3 OH → CH 2 =C(CH 3)COOCH 3 + NH 4 HSO 4. Mitsubishi Gas Chemicals proposed that MAN can be hydrated to methacrylamide without using sulfuric acid and is then esterified to obtain MMA by methylformate. [10] CH 2 =C(CH 3)CN + H 2 O ...
Base catalysed Michael addition of methyl acrylate to 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol forms the intermediate butyl-phloretic ester. High temperature transesterification of this with pentaerythritol gives the final product. Driving this reaction to completion can be difficult and commercial samples often contain low levels of the tri-ester.

Acrylates (IUPAC: prop-2-enoates) are the salts, esters, and conjugate bases of acrylic acid. The acrylate ion is the anion CH 2 =CHCO − 2. Often, acrylate refers to esters of acrylic acid, the most common member being methyl acrylate. These acrylates contain vinyl groups.
Poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) is a family of organic polymers with the formula (CH 2 CHCO 2 CH 3) n. It is a synthetic acrylate polymer derived from methyl acrylate monomer. The polymers are colorless. This homopolymer is far less important than copolymers derived from methyl acrylate and other monomers.
