Methyl Isobutyl Ketone → Acrylic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a separable flask having an inner volume of 300 ml, equipped with a reflux condenser, a stirrer, a thermometer, and an air inlet were charged 22.4 g of 1,3-bis(4-glycidyloxyphenyl)adamantane obtained by the Synthesis Example 1, 7.6 g of acrylic acid, 20 mL of MIBK, 0.76 g of tetraethylammonium bromide, and 7.6 mg of p-methoxyphenol, and the mixture was heated to 120° C. with flowing a small amount of an air, and stirred for 20 hours. Thereafter, 80 mL of MIBK was added, and the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature. The MIBK solution was washed by 5% by mass of aqueous sodium chloride solution twice, and by pure water once, and then the organic layer was concentrated to obtain 26.8 g of the adamantyl group containing epoxy-modified acrylate having the following formula (purity of 91% by LC).
