4-Methoxystyrene is employed in the ferric chloride-catalyzed addition of activated methylenes to styrenes. It acts as a monomer in polymerization reactions. Further, it is used to prepare 1,1,2,2-Tetracyano-3-(p-methoxyphenyl)cyclobutane by reacting with ethenetetracarbonitrile.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
