4-Acetoxybenzoic acid has been used in the preparation of poly(4-hydroxybenzoate).
ChEBI: 4-acetoxy benzoic acid is a member of the class of benzoic acids that is benzoic acid substituted by an acetoxy group at position 4. It is a member of benzoic acids and a member of phenyl acetates.
Kinetics of the bulk polymerization of 4-acetoxybenzoic acid has been investigated. Mono and submono layers of 4-acetoxybenzoic acid chemisorbed on oxidized aluminum has been studied by IR-absorption spectroscopy.
