VINYL ESTERS OF ISONONANOIC ACID STARTING FROM 2-ETHYL HEXANOL, METHODS FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to the vinyl ester of isononanoic acid starting from 2-ethyl hexanol, a methods for the production thereof comprising the dehydrogenation of 2-ethyl hexanol to an octene, which octene is then transformed into a isononanoic acid extended by a carbon atom, which isonanoic acid is then reacted to the corresponding vinyl ester. The present invention also relates to the use of the thus-produced vinyl ester in copolymers.
