Abstract: Methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methylacrylic acid(MAA) can form the contact charge transfer complex(CCT) with O2,respectively.After O2 was bubbled,the concentration of hydroperoxide in MMAincreased with the increasing of oxidation time,however,it did not increase in MAA. From the IR,NMRspectra,it showed that the initial oxidation occured on the α-methyl group of MMAand MAAmolecules via MMA-O2 CCTand MAAO2 CCT,respectively. In the case of MAA,the hydroperoxide group would further decompose and produce an aldehyde group.

Key words: Methyl methacrylate, Methylacrylic acid, Contact charge transfer complex(CCT), Initial oxidation
