Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A method of manufacturing a radiation-sensitive compound having the general formula wherein A represents the ring members required to complete a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring which may optionally be fused to an optionally substituted aromatic nucleus, B represents H, acyl, aroyl, heterocyclyl carbonyl or R represents an optionally substituted alkyl group, E and G, which may be the same or different, each represents H or CH p X 3-p , J and K, which may be the same or different, each represents an aryl or heterocyclic group, which may optionally include a substituent additional to E or G, X represents Cl or Br, and m,n and p, which may be the same or different, each represents an integer equal to 0, 1 or 2, which comprises reacting an acid halide having the formula with either a quaternary heterocyclic salt having the formula or a methylene base derivative of a quaternary heterocyclic compound having the formula where Z is halogen and A,B, R ,E,J, X and m have the meanings given above, to obtain the desired compound.
