Conclusions
-
1.
The free-radical addition of the methyl ester and nitrile of 3-methoxypropionic add to alkenes, initiated with ditert-butyl peroxide, leads to the formation of 1:1 adducts which consist of the methyl esters or nitriles of 2-alkyl-3-methoxy-, 3-alkyl-3-methoxy-, and 3-alkoxy substituted propionic acids.
-
2.
The reaction is accompanied by the formation of a small quantity of by-products produced by the partialβ-dissociation of the CH2OCH2CH2COOCH3 and CH3OCHCH2COOCH3 radicals.
