2-Hydroxybutyl methacrylate (CAS 13159-51-8) is an organic compound that belongs to the class of methacrylate esters. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methacrylate functional group, which contributes to its reactivity and utility in polymer chemistry. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. 2-Hydroxybutyl methacrylate is known for its ability to participate in free radical polymerization, making it valuable in the production of various polymers and copolymers. Its hydroxyl functionality enhances adhesion properties and can improve the mechanical strength of the resulting materials. Additionally, it is used in coatings, adhesives, and sealants, where it contributes to the durability and performance of the final products. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause skin and eye irritation.

2-Hydroxybutyl methacrylate is a monomer with a hydroxy group. It is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, chloroform, and tetrahydrofuran. It polymerizes by the addition of an initiator that generates the hydroxyl group on the molecule. 2-Hydroxybutyl methacrylate has been shown to form laminar morphology and morphologies, which are characterized by parallel bands of regular thickness. The solvent used for polymerization can affect the morphology; for example, when 2-hydroxybutyl methacrylate is polymerized in chloroform or methylene chloride it forms rod-shaped molecules. 2-Hydroxybutyl methacrylate has been used as a staining agent for electron microscopy.
