Aromatic vinyl ether compounds represented by Formula (1) or by Formula (2)
wherein each R and R′ is a hydrogen atom or a group represented by Formula (3)
and wherein the remaining variables are as defined in the specification, provided that at least one pR in Formula (1) and at least one uR in Formula (2) is a Formula (3) group. These aromatic vinyl ether compounds are useful as, e.g., curing agents for cationic polymerization.
There is provided an inkjet ink comprising a photo-acid generating agent which is capable of generating an acid as it is irradiated with light, a color component, and an acid-polymerizable compound which can be polymerized in the presence of an acid, wherein at least 40% of the acid-polymerizable solvent is a vinyl ether compound represented by the following general formula (1):
R
13
—R
14
—(R
13
)
p
(1)
(Wherein R
13
(s) is a group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl ether group, a group having a vinyl ether skeleton, an alkoxy group, substituted hydroxyl group and hydroxyl group wherein at least one of R
13
(s) is vinyl ether group or a group having a vinyl ether skeleton, R
14
is a group comprising a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic skeleton and having a valence of (p+1), and p is a positive integer including zero).
