## Abstract Ethyl α‐hydroxymethylacrylate (EHMA) was synthesized from ethyl acrylate and paraformaldehyde, and converted to ethyl α‐chloromethylacrylate (ECMA) by reaction with thionyl chloride. ECMA was bulk polymerized at 65°C with α,α′‐azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) to give a homopolymer with a
