TCI B6381, 2-[(2-Bromo-2-methylpropanoyl)oxy]ethyl acrylate (CAS 213453-02-2), is a bifunctional acrylate monomer bearing an α-bromoisobutyrate group. This dual functionality allows it to act simultaneously as a polymerizable monomer and as an ATRP initiating site, making it a practical "inimer" for controlled radical polymerization. Researchers commonly apply it to hyperbranched polymers, star architectures, and bottlebrush copolymers where branch points must be introduced in a controlled manner. Supplied in 1 g and 5 g packs, it should be stored cool, tightly closed, and protected from light to prevent premature polymerization.
