APPLICATIONS
Vinyl: the univalent chemical radical H2C=CHCl-, derived from ethylene. It is a highly reactive, easily polymerizing, and low cost monomer used as basic materials for one of largest-selling plastic. In addition to its application of polymerization to make plastics with huge amount, vinly- is an functional group involved in cycloaddition, addition reactions, and carbon skeleton expansion reactions including Suzuki reaction, Heck reaction. This radical is useful in biomolecules chemistry such as protein sequencing and enzyme inhibitors. Some vinyl compounds impart characteristic flavors.

Vinyl ethyl ether is a clear, flammable liquid; boiling at 36 C; slightly soluble in water soluble in water, alcohol, and ether. It may form unstable peroxides. It polymerizes on contact with acids, oxidizing agents and on exposure to light and heat. It is an useful co-monomer for functional polymers. It is used as an intermediate to create a desired chemical compound through a series of chemical reactions in the field of pharmaceuticals, plastics dispersions, perfumery, lube oil and polyvinyl ether.
