摘要:
The present disclosure provides a method of preparing a compound of Formula (V) wherein n of radicals R6' to R9'are -RbOC(O)C(R13) =CH2, and further wherein R13is H or C1alkyl, n is an integer of from 1 to 3 and for each of said n radicals, Rbis independently selected from a covalent bond, C2-C12alkylene, C3-C18cycloalkylene or C6- C18arylene. In a first method step i), a disulfide compound of Formula (I) is reacted in an acidic medium having a pH of≤ 4 with a hydroxyl functional compound of Formula (II) to yield a compound of Formula (III), wherein: R2to R5are independently selected from H or C1-C6alkyl, R6to R9correspond to said substituents R6' to R9'and are independently selected from H, C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6alkoxy, C1-C12alkoxyalkyl, SR12, COOR12and N(R12)2; R10and R11are H; and, each R12is independently selected from C1-C6alkyl or C6-C18aryl, subject to the proviso that n of radicals R6to R9are Rb(OH) and for each of said n radicals, Rbis independently selected as defined above. In a second step ii) said compound of Formula (III) is reacted in an inert aprotic solvent with a (meth)acrylating agent of Formula (IV) to yield said compound of Formula (V), wherein: in Formula (IV), X is halide or -OC(O)C(R13)=CH2; and, the number of moles of (meth) acrylate groups provided by said compound of Formula (IV) is at least equimolar with the number of moles of hydroxyl groups provided by the compound of Formula (III).
