Merck, 132292-5ML, 2-Vinylpyridine

General description
2-Vinylpyridine (2VP) belongs to the class of monomers known as vinyl monomers. It is used as a monomer in the synthesis of various polymers such as poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP), poly(2-vinylpyridine-co-styrene), poly(2-vinylpyridine-co-butadiene) etc. These polymers find applications in membrane and separation technologies, ion exchange resins, electronic devices, sensors, energy storage systems, and drug delivery systems. Additionally, 2VP polymers are used as binders in adhesives and coatings due to their excellent adhesion properties. They can provide strong bonding to various substrates.

2-Vinylpyridine (2VP) is a water soluble pyridine derivative that can be used in the synthesis of poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) by anionic polymerization. It can be industrially prepared by treatment of 2-methylpyridine with an aqueous solution of formaldehyde in a temperature range of 150-200°C.
Application
Vinylation of silacyclobutanes with Ni-catalysis leading to geometrically pure (E)-silylolefins.
2-Vinylpyridine can be used as a monomer:In the preparation of P2VP oligomers to study their properties and behavior on various surfaces, with a focus on area-selective deposition techniques.
