Abstract
Abstract The acylation of polyvinyl alcohols is carried out by a process in which these alcohols are esterified with an activated carboxylic acid derivative in the presence of, as the catalyst, an aminopyridine derivative of the general formula (I) ##STR1## where R 1 and R 2 are each alkyl, or R 1 and R 2 together form an alkylene radical. The acylation is particularly advantageously carried out in the heterogeneous phase. The acylated polyvinyl alcohols prepared in this manner are used in photopolymerizable and/or photocrosslinkable mixtures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
A process for the acylation of a polyvinyl alcohol comprising esterifying the polyvinyl alcohol with a carboxylic acid derivative suitable for acylation reactions, in the heterogeneous phase in an aprotic dispersant, in the presence of a pyridine derivative catalyst of the formula I ##STR4## where R 1 and R 2 are each alkyl, or R 1 and R 2 together form an alkylene radical.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
A process for the acylation of a polyvinyl alcohol comprising esterifying the polyvinyl alcohol with a carboxylic acid derivative suitable for acylation reactions, in the heterogeneous phase in an aprotic dispersant, in the presence of a pyridine derivative catalyst of the formula I ##STR4## where R 1 and R 2 are each alkyl, or R 1 and R 2 together form an alkylene radical.
