Dinitroalkyl aromatics polymerization retarders or inhibitors and methods for making and for using same

Abstract

A vinyl monomer inhibitor systems is disclosed which includes 2,6-dinitro-4-alkylated phenols and mixtures of 2,6-dinitro-4-alkylated phenols and 2,4-dinitro-6-alkylated phenols as well as vinyl monomer stabilized composition including an effective amount of the inhibitor systems. A method for the preparation and use is also disclosed where phenol is first alkylated under conditions that afford predominately monoalkylated phenols having a high para alkylation preference, followed by nitration of the alkylated phenols to form a dinitrated, monoalkylated product.
