Octane → 1-ADAMANTYL ACRYLATE

Participants

Reaction Steps

Adamantyl acrylate is synthesized by the method described in JP-2001-106650-A. That is, 86.4 g (513 mmol) of 1,3-adamantane diol containing sodium in an amount of 0.05% by weight, 400 ml of toluene, 400 ml of n-octane, 108 g (1,500 mmol) of acrylic acid, 1.23 g of strong sulfuric acid, and 0.37 g p-methoxyphenol are placed in a separable flask equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, a Dean-Stark water separator, a Dimroth condenser, an air introduction tube, and a separating valve provided on the bottom side. Reaction is conducted for five hours in a reflux state at 112° C. while inspiring a small amount of air to the flask. During the reaction, produced water is removed by using the Dean-Stark water separator. The reaction liquid is cooled down to room temperature followed by filtration of insoluble matters. 840 g of 5% by weight sodium hydroxide solution is admixed and separated. Thereafter, the organic phase is washed with 400 ml of water six times. The organic phase is condensed with a reduced pressure, filtered, and dried to obtain 83.8 g of adamantyl acrylate of white powder.
