説明
Methyl acrylate is an organic compound with the formula CH2CHCO2CH3. It is the methyl ester of acrylic acid. It is a colourless liquid with a characteristic acrid odor. It is mainly produced to make acrylate fiber, which is used to weave synthetic carpets. It is also a reagent in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical intermediates.
-
化学的特性
Methyl acrylate is a clear, colorless, corrosive liquid with a sharp, fruity odor. It is soluble in water and completely miscible with most organic solvents.
Methyl acrylate has a variety of industrial uses. the more important commercial uses of methyl acrylate include the preparation of thermoplastic coatings, use in the manufacture of acrylic and modacrylic fibers. In the fiber application, methyl acrylate is used as a comonomer with acrylonitrile. These acrylic fibers usually contain about 85% acrylonitrile and are used to fabricate clothing, blankets, carpets, and curtains. Other uses of methyl acrylate include coatings, adhesives, textile backcoatings, elastomers, plastics, and it is also found in ionic exchange resins, barrier film resins, antioxidant intermediates and acrylic fibers.

物理的性質
Clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a heavy, sweet, pungent odor. An odor threshold
concentration of 3.5 ppbv was reported by Nagata and Takeuchi (1990).

使用
Methyl acrylate is a monomer used in the manufacture of acrylic fibers, plastic films, textiles, papercoatings, and other acrylate ester resins. It is also used in amphoteric surfactants.
-
製造方法
Acrylate esters can be produced in a number of ways. The most commonly used method, developed in 1970, involves a propylene oxidation process. The reaction occurs initially with the oxidation of propylene to acrolein, which in turn is oxidized to acrylic acid. Once the acrylic acid is formed, it is reacted with methanol which causes the formation of the methyl acrylate. This reaction is shown as follows:
An older method, the Reppe process, involves reacting acetylene with nickel carbonyl and methyl alcohol in the presence of an acid to produce methyl acrylate.
More recent methods for producing acrylate esters involve the use of organic carbonates as esterifying agents or isolating 2-halo- 1-alkenes from hydrocarbon feedstocks to produce the acrylate esters (Haggin, 1985).
-
調製方法
Methyl acrylate is manufactured via a reaction of nickel
carbonyl and acetylene with methanol in the presence of
an acid; more commonly, however, it is manufactured
via oxidation of propylene to acrolein and then to
acrylic acid. The acid is reacted with methanol to yield
the ester.

一般的な説明
Colorless volatile liquid with an acrid odor. Flash point 27°F. Vapors may irritate the eyes and respiratory system. Highly toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. Less dense than water (0.957 gm / cm3) and slightly soluble in water, hence floats on water. Vapors heavier than air.
-
空気と水の反応
Highly flammable. Forms peroxides when exposed to air that may initiate spontaneous, exothermic polymerization. Peroxide formation usually proceeds slowly. Slightly soluble in water.
-
反応プロフィール
METHYL ACRYLATE ignites readily when exposed to heat, flame or sparks. Offers a dangerous fire and explosion hazard. Reacts vigorously with strong oxidizing materials. Forms peroxides when exposed to air that may initiate spontaneous exothermic polymerization. Peroxide formation usually proceeds slowly. Added inhibitor retards polymerization. If the inhibitor is consumed during long storage, explosive polymerization may occur [MCA Case History No. 2033]. Also subject to strongly exothermic polymerization if heated for prolonged periods or contaminated.

危険性
Flammable, dangerous fire and explosion
risk. Toxic by inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption; irritant to skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract
irritant; eye damage. Questionable carcinogen.
-
健康ハザード
The liquid is a strong irritant, and prolongedcontact with the eyes or skin may causesevere damage. Inhalation of its vapors cancause lacrimation, irritation of respiratorytract, lethargy, and at high concentrations,convulsions. One-hour exposure to a concen tration of 700–750 ppm in air caused deathto rabbits. The oral toxicity of methyl acry late in animals varied from low to moderate,depending on species, the LD50 values ranging between 250 and 850 mg/kg. The liquidmay be absorbed through the skin, producingmild toxic effects.

火災危険
Flammable liquid; flash point (closed cup)
-4°C (25°F), (open cup) -3°C (27°F); vapor
pressure 68 torr at 20°C (68°F); vapor density
3.0 (air = 1); the vapor is heavier than air and
can travel a considerable distance to a source
of ignition and flashback; autoignition tem perature not established; fire-extinguishing
agent: dry chemical, CO2, or “alcohol” foam;
use water to keep the fire-exposed containers
cool and to flush or dilute any spill; the vapors
may polymerize and block the vents.
The vapors of methyl acrylate form explo sive mixtures with air, over a relatively wide
range; the LEL and UEL values are 2.8 and
25.0% by volume in air, respectively. Methyl
acrylate undergoes self-polymerization at
25°C (77°F). The polymerization reaction
proceeds with evolution of heat and the
increased pressure can cause rupture of
closed containers. The reaction rate is accelerated by heat, light, or peroxides. Vigorous
to violent reaction may occur when mixed
with strong oxidizers (especially nitrates and
peroxides) and strong alkalie.
