Reaction Steps

14.9 g of ethoxymethyl 4-(4-(6-acryloyloxyhexyloxy)benzoyloxy)cinnamate (24) (30 mmole) were dissolved in 60 ml of absolute ethanol and 0.75 g (3 mmole) of pyridinium 4-toluenesulfonate and minor amounts of 4-methoxyphenol (to avoid the polymerization) were added. The mixture was heated at 60° C. (bath temperature) for 13 h. After cooling to room temperature, a white solid appeared. It was filtered, washed with ethanol and dried in a dessicator with silica overnight. 12.7 g of a white solid were obtained (yield: 97%).
