METHOD FOR PRODUCING 2-ALKYL-2-ADAMANTYL(METH)ACRYLATES

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method with which 2-alkyl-2-adamantyl(meth)acrylates can be industrially efficiently produced by a simple process in a high yield. SOLUTION: This method for producing 2-alkyl-2-adamantyl(meth)acrylates represented by general formula 5 (R2 is hydrogen or a methyl group; R1 an alkyl group;) comprises reacting 2-adamantanones represented by general formula 1 with an organometallic compound represented by general formula 2: R1-M (2) [R1 is as described above; M is a metal atom which may contain a ligand or a group represented by general formula 3: -MgY (3) (Y is a halogen)] to give 2-alkyl-2-adamantanols represented by general formula 4 (R1 is as described above and the adamantine ring may contain a substituent group) and then reacting the 2-alkyl-2-adamantanols with a (meth)acrylic acid halide.
