METHOD FOR MAKING METHACRYLIC THIOESTERS

摘要

The invention concerns a method for making methacrylic thioesters of formula (I) in which R represents a primary linear alkyl radical containing 3 to 12 carbon atoms, characterised in that it consists in reacting methacrylic anhydride with a mercaptan of formula RSH, R being as defined above, the reaction being advantageously carried out in the presence of a cationic ion exchanger resin in H<+> form as catalyst.
