Polymerizable vinyl benzoates

摘要

Disclosed herein are monomeric compounds and methods of preparing these compounds which have the formula: <IMAGE> wherein: R and R' are independently selected from the group consisting of H, halide and alkyl; Ar and Ar' are independently arylene; X is selected from the group consisting of NHSO2R2, CH2NHSO2R2 and SO2NHR2 and R2 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl and aralkyl. These monomers are homopolymerized or copolymerized with one or more other monomers to yield polymers having desirable solubility characteristics. A particular use for the polymers is in relief image materials or as binders in photographic layers.
