Description
TCI D5907, CAS number 471915-89-6, is N-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenethyl)methacrylamide, an acrylic monomer that carries the dopamine-derived catechol group on its side chain. The material serves as a non-heterocyclic building block that bridges polymer chemistry and surface chemistry: the methacrylamide group provides a point for radical polymerization, while the catechol ring gives the molecule a strong ability to interact with metals, metal oxides, and biological tissue. In the laboratory, this monomer is a key raw material for researchers designing mussel-inspired adhesive polymers as well as functional hydrogels with high adhesion to wet substrates.
The characteristic that makes this material a frequent choice is the duality of function contained in a single small molecule. The catechol group is electron-rich and readily forms hydrogen bonds, coordination complexes with metal ions, and covalent bonds after oxidation to the corresponding quinone, making it highly effective as a surface anchor. The methacrylamide group, on the other hand, is compatible with both conventional and controlled radical polymerization techniques such as RAFT and ATRP, allowing researchers to tune copolymer composition and architecture rather than being limited to a single synthetic route.
In Indonesian laboratories, this building block is typically used in university and institutional research groups working on polymer synthesis, biomaterials, coatings, and surface modification. It usually appears in bench-scale synthetic work where a small quantity of a specialty monomer is copolymerized with more common comonomers to introduce adhesive or metal-binding functionality. Because it is supplied as a catalogue research chemical from TCI, it fits well into project-based work where reproducible identity and consistent supply matter more than large volumes.
Laboratory Applications
- Mussel-inspired adhesive polymer synthesis — the catechol side chain mimics the DOPA residues of mussel foot proteins, giving copolymers genuine bonding strength on wet and mineral surfaces.
- Functional hydrogel formulation — incorporating this monomer lets researchers build networks that adhere to moist substrates and tissue instead of merely swelling in contact with them.
- Surface modification and primer chemistry — the catechol anchors strongly to metals and metal oxides, so polymers containing it can graft durably onto substrates that resist conventional coatings.
- Controlled radical copolymerization studies — the methacrylamide group works with RAFT and ATRP, letting researchers control chain length, composition, and block architecture in designed catechol polymers.
- Metal-ion coordination and crosslinking research — the electron-rich catechol forms coordination complexes with metal ions, enabling reversible, metal-mediated crosslinking and self-healing network studies.

Handling and Storage
Keep the container tightly closed and store it in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place, following the storage conditions printed on the manufacturer's label. Catechol-bearing monomers are sensitive to air and light, and methacrylamide functionality can polymerize under heat or radical initiation, so avoid unnecessary exposure and prolonged warming. Use the original supplier container or a compatible, well-sealed amber glass vessel with a chemically resistant closure, and label all working aliquots clearly. Handle the material in a fume hood using safety glasses, gloves, and a laboratory coat. Consult the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet before use, and dispose of residues and contaminated materials as chemical waste according to your institution's procedures.
