METHOD FOR 2-ALKYL-2-ADAMANTHYL (METH)ACRYLATE PRODUCTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a high-purity 2-alkyl-2-adamanthyl (meth)acrylate having a low chloride content. SOLUTION: A metal 2-alkyl-2-adamanthyl alcoholate compound (1) (R<1> is a 1-6C alkyl group; M is a Li atom or MgX (X is a halogen atom; R<2> is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group) is reacted with (meth)acrylic acid anhydride or an ester compound of a 2-8C alcohol having a double bond at theα- andβ-positions and (meth)acrylic acid to produce the 2-alkyl-2-adamanthyl (meth) acrylate (2).
