Participants

Reaction Steps

1400 g of isopropyl ether, 100 g of 4-hydroxybenzyl acrylate and 53 g of pyridine were charged into a separable flask of the same type as used in Reference Example 1, and the flask inside gas was replaced with a nitrogen gas over 30 minutes, while ice cooling the flask. Then, 125 g of acetic anhydride was dropwise added thereto at 3° C. over 2 hours, and stirring was continued at room temperature for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was washed with 0.5N hydrochloric acid and then with water. By distilling off isopropyl ether from the reaction mixture, 113 g of 4-acetoxybenzyl acrylate of the following chemical formula was obtained (yield:91%): ##STR12##
