Description :
2-Benzylacrylic Acid is an unsaturated aromatic carboxylic acid widely used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical, polymer, and fine chemical synthesis. Its structure combines a benzyl group with an acrylic acid moiety, offering high reactivity in condensation, polymerisation, and Michael addition reactions.
It is primarily employed in drug intermediate synthesis, resin modification, and speciality chemical production. 2-Benzylacrylic Acid is strictly an industrial and laboratory chemical, not intended for food, cosmetic, or fragrance applications.
Used as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the formation of heterocyclic and substituted aromatic compounds.
Often combined with amine derivatives, aldehydes, or other acrylic acids in multi-step synthesis.
Can be interlinked with products like Acrylic Acid, benzyl acetate, and Fine Chemical Intermediates in the ChemicalBull catalogue.
Applied in the development of speciality resins and coatings due to its unsaturated acrylic functionality.
Serves as a reactive monomer for copolymerization with other acrylic or methacrylic monomers.
Enhances adhesion, flexibility, and reactivity of polymer systems.
Widely used in research laboratories for studying Michael addition, condensation reactions, and polymer modification.
Serves as a versatile intermediate in the custom synthesis of speciality molecules.
Produced by speciality chemical manufacturers under controlled conditions to ensure purity and consistency.
