Abstract
Methyl acrylate-α-d of high isotopic purity was synthesized in 50 per cent yield by reducing methyl α-bromoacrylate with zinc dust and deuterium oxide in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether at 80—100°C. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of alternating styrene-α-d–methyl acrylate-α-d and α-methylstyrene-methyl acrylate-α-d copolymers are discussed.
