Propargyl methacrylate is a monomer used in polymerization reactions. It is associated with its acetylene and under goes polymerization reaction through the reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process using cyanoisopropyl dithiobenzoate as a reagent.

Propargyl methacrylate is a methacrylate-based monomer for use in the synthesis of alkyne-functionalized polymers and copolymers. The incorporation of alkynes allows for rapid post-polymerization modification through reactions, such as copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or thiol-yne click reactions. These reactions are highly preferable for functionalization due their high efficiency and the ability to easily install the corresponding functionality (e.g., azides or thiols) onto the biomolecule or small molecule of interest.
