Applications
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.

Solubility
Slightly miscible with methanol.

Notes
Light sensitive. Store in cool place. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong acids.
