Butyl acrylate is a clear colorless liquid. It is a vinyl monomer. It undergoes radical copolymerization with benzoxazine containing a vinyl group to afford copolymers. Heck coupling reactions of aryl bromides with n-butyl acrylate mediated by phosphine-imidazolium salt has been reported. Copolymerization of styrene and n-butyl acrylate by ATRP catalyzed by CuBr/4,4′-di(5-nonyl)-2,2′-bipyridine has been described.
