Reaction Steps

Following the procedure of Example 1, "Westvaco 1550 Diacid" was reduced by lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran to a diol having formula VIII in which m is 5, p is 7 and the broken line indicates a double bond. This diol (85 grams, 0.25 mole) was reacted with acrylic acid (90 ml., 1.28 mole) in toluene solution to yield the desired diacylate as a liquid.
