Beilstein reaxys number 1209255. Structure properties spectra suppliers and links for. Linear formula ch 3 och ch 2. It is used as a synthetic building block and a monomer.

Workers that produce or use vinyl methyl ether may breathe in mists or have direct skin contact. Vinyl methyl ether reacts vigorously with oxidizing materials. Methyl vinyl ether is an organic compound with the chemical formula ch 3 och ch 2 a colorless gas it is the simplest enol ether it is used as a synthetic building block as is the related compound ethyl vinyl ether a liquid at room temperature. The vinyl carbonate 13 152 gives only copolymerization the ketene acetal 11 153 and the methyl vinyl ether 14 152 give both copolymerization and chain transfer in styrene polymerization whereas with the benzyl vinyl ethers 12 153 15 8 and 16 18 151 chain transfer is the only reaction detected.

Ethyl vinyl ether is an organic compound with the chemical formula ch 3 ch 2 och ch 2. In general vinyl ethers possessing highly branched alkyl groups are more reactive than those bearing straight chain alkyl groups. Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat flame or strong oxidizing agents. The reactivity of the vinyl ethers in cationic polymerization depends on both the initiator used and the structure of the vinyl ether itself.
