Abstract
Abstract A process for synthesizing ethers of alkyl alpha(hydroxymethyl)-acrylate by reacting alkyl acrylate and formaldehyde in the presence of a DABCO catalyst. The ethers may be used as cross-linking agents for thermoplastic polymers. Further, these ethers in turn enable synthesis of cyclopolymers that may show promising biological activity.
