4-Vinyltoluene is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4CH=CH2. It is derivative of styrene and is used as a comonomer in the production of specialized polystyrenes. It is produced by the dehydrogenation of 4-ethyltoluene.[1] It is also sometimes used in the production of styrene-free Polyester resin.
