The reactions of sodium acrylate and sodium methacrylate with monochloroacetic acid benzyl ether were investigated in order to study their nucleophilic substitution behavior and the formation of functionalized acrylic derivatives. The interaction proceeds via the alkylation of the carboxylate anion, leading to the introduction of benzyl ether fragments into the acrylic and methacrylic systems. Reaction conditions, including solvent, temperature, and reaction time, were optimized to improve yield and selectivity. The structures of the obtained products were confirmed using spectroscopic methods. The results demonstrate that both sodium acrylate and sodium methacrylate exhibit comparable reactivity toward monochloroacetic acid benzyl ether, with differences attributed to the steric and electronic effects of the methyl substituent in methacrylate. The synthesized compounds are of interest as intermediates for polymer modification and functional material synthesis.
