1-Methoxy-2-propanol → p-Toluenesulfonic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A light-sensitive composition is prepared by blending together 210 g of methyl ethyl ketone, 94.5 g of propylene glycol mono methyl ether and 140 g of diacetone alcohol under moderate stirring and then adding 21 g of Scripset 540, a styrene/maleic acid half ester copolymer having an average molecular weight from about 10,000 to 50,000 available from Monsanto, and stirring until the copolymer is dissolved. 1.75 g of p-toluene sulfonic acid and 10.5 g of the condensation product of 3-methoxy-4-diazo diphenyl amine sulfate and 4,4'-bis-methoxy methyl diphenyl ether isolated as the mesitylene sulfonate are then added while under continued stirring. In a separate vessel, 122.5 g of a white dispersion (50% solids in propylene glycol mono methyl ether) and 42 g of a black dispersion (25% solids in methyl ethyl ketone) are blended. The first mixture is then added to the dispersion blend and the entire formulation is stirred for thirty minutes to insure complete mixing.
