描述
Methacrylic acid, also known as A-methacrylate or 2-methyl-2-propenoic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group with the formula -C(=O)OH. Methacrylic acid is soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Methacrylic acid can be synthesized from acrylic acid. Methacrylic acid is also a parent compound for other transformation products, including but not limited to, bisphenol A dimethacrylate, trichagmalin B, and methyl methacrylate. Methacrylic acid can be found in roman camomile, which makes methacrylic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Methacrylic acid, abbreviated MAA, is an organic compound. This colorless, viscous liquid is a carboxylic acid with an acrid unpleasant odor. It is soluble in warm water and miscible with most organic solvents. Methacrylic acid is produced industrially on a large scale as a precursor to its esters, especially methyl methacrylate (MMA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The methacrylates have numerous uses, most notably in the manufacture of polymers with trade names such as Lucite and Plexiglas. MAA occurs naturally in small amounts in the oil of Roman chamomile .
