New acrylic bio-based molecule

Chemistry
We industrialized a new process that produces high purity bio-based 3,3-dimethyl acrylic acid (CAS 541-47-9) made from sugars of different origins, and environmentally safer. Current production is on tens of tons scale per year.

Through this short questionnaire, we expect to refine our knowledge of the various applications of this newly bio-based acid offers.

Solution

3,3-dimethyl acrylic acid (CAS 541-47-9 / also called Senecioic acid / Methyl crotonic acid / Prenic acid / 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid) is currently used in the industry.

Up to now, only oil-based 3,3-dimethyl acrylic acid is available. Moreover, oil-based, the process for production of this acid is known to be harmful to environment through reactants and effluents.
