ADAMANTANE DERIVATIVE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

An adamantane derivative useful as a monomer for functional resins such as photosensitive resins in the field of photolithography. The adamantane derivative has a structure represented by the general formula (I) or (IV). In the formulae, R represents hydrogen, methyl, or trifluoromethyl; Y represents C<SUB>1-10</SUB> alkyl, halogeno, or hydroxy, provided that two Y's in combination may represent =O and when two or more Y's are present, then the Y's may be the same or different; R<SUP>1</SUP> represents a C<SUB>2-20</SUB> hydrocarbon group containing at least one hydroxy group; k is an integer of 0-14; and m and n each independently is 0 or 1. (I) (IV)
