Abstract

Abstract A process for the preparation of chloroformates having terminal acrylic or methacrylic groups, comprises reacting at least one hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate with phosgene by introducing a solution of the acrylate or methacrylate into a solution of phosgene, while stirring, at a temperature of -25 DEG C to +5 DEG C, in the presence of an acid acceptor and a stoichiometric excess of phosgene.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 132 words
A process for the preparation of a chloroformate of formula ##STR8## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or methyl and R 2 is an alkylene of 1 to 10 carbon atoms which consists of introducing a solution of one acrylate or methacrylate of formula ##STR9## wherein R 1 and R 2 are as defined hereinabove and an acid acceptor selected from the group consisting of tertiary alkylamines and heterocyclic amines of aromatic character, in an inert solvent into a solution of phosgene in the same inert solvent or in a solvent which is miscible with said solvent, said phosgene being present in an at least 10% excess with respect to the stoichiometric amount, at a temperature of from -20° C. to +5° C., while stirring, and isolating said chloroformate from the reaction mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 132 words
A process for the preparation of a chloroformate of formula ##STR8## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or methyl and R 2 is an alkylene of 1 to 10 carbon atoms which consists of introducing a solution of one acrylate or methacrylate of formula ##STR9## wherein R 1 and R 2 are as defined hereinabove and an acid acceptor selected from the group consisting of tertiary alkylamines and heterocyclic amines of aromatic character, in an inert solvent into a solution of phosgene in the same inert solvent or in a solvent which is miscible with said solvent, said phosgene being present in an at least 10% excess with respect to the stoichiometric amount, at a temperature of from -20° C. to +5° C., while stirring, and isolating said chloroformate from the reaction mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 37 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein at least two said acrylate or methacrylate in solution in said inert solvent are introduced into said solution of phosgene and a mixture of at least two chloroformates is obtained.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 24 words
A process as set forth in claim 1 wherein the ratio by weight of the inert solvent to phosgene is between 1 and 5:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A process as set forth in claim 1 wherein the phosgene is present in a molar excess between 15 and 30% with respect to the stoichiometric amount.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 34 words
A process as set forth in claim 1, wherein R 2 is an alkylene substituted by at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of halogen atoms, nitrile, nitro, acrylate and methacrylate groups.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 21 words
A process as set forth in claim 1, wherein R 2 is an alkylene which contains at least one ether linkage.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 22 words
A process as set forth in claim 1, wherein said acid acceptor is selected from the group consisting of triethylamine and pyridine.
