Thioxanthonecarboxylic acid esters, thioesters and amides
Abstract
Abstract Thioxanthonecarboxylic acid esters, thioesters or amides of the formula I ##STR1## in which X and Z are hydrogen or one of the substituents defined in more detail in claim 1 and Y is --OR 1 , --SR 1 or --N(R 1 )(R 2 ), in which R 1 is C 1-24 alkyl and R 2 is H or R 1 , are suitable, if desired together with amines, as initiators for the photopolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds or for photochemical crosslinking of polyolefines. They are also used an sensitizers for photocrosslinkable polymers. They can be prepared by methods known per se, for example by cyclization of phenylthio-phthalic, -isophthalic or -terephthalic acids, which can be correspondingly substituted, and subsequent reaction with suitable alcohols, thiols or amines.
