The title monomer was copolymerized with methyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate n-butyl acrylate. The results of the copolymerization experiments were analyzed using a nonlinear least squares error-invariables method in order to obtain reactivity ratios for each monomer pair. In all cases the 2-vinyl-5-methyl furan proved to be the more reactive monomer, although this monomer is not as reactive as some other vinyl heterocycles have proved to be in copolymerizations with these same or similar comonomers.
