SYNTHESIS OF (2-NITRO)ALKYL (METH)ACRYLATES VIA TRANSESTERIFICATION OF (METH)ACRYLATE ESTERS

摘要

Provided is a process for making (2-nitro)alkyl (meth)acrylate compounds of formula I: wherein n, R, R1, R2, R3, R4, R6, R7, and n are as defined herein, by a transesterification reaction between a nitroalcohol compound and a (meth)acrylate compound in the presence of a transesterification catalyst and a free radical inhibitor.
