PREPARATION OF ACRYLIC COMPOUNDS CONTAINING RESINS WITH VINYL FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

A process for preparing a vinyl-containing compound comprises reacting an alcohol and an organic acid in the presence of an esterification acid catalyst to form an esterified intermediate, wherein an azeotropic agent is present to facilitate removal of water generated during the reaction, and wherein the organic acid is present in an excess of its weight equivalent relative to the alcohol; and reacting an epoxide, a carbodiimide, or both with: (1) unreacted organic acid and (2) excess esterification acid catalyst such that the acid catalyst becomes neutralized. The reaction between the epoxide, the unreacted organic acid, and the excess esterification catalyst forms a vinyl ester resin; and the reaction between the carbodiimide, the unreacted organic acid, and the excess esterification catalyst forms a vinyl-functional carbodiimide.
