Mg. Mikhael et al., A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF METHYL ALPHA-CYANO-BETA-SULFONYLOXY-P-NITROCINNAMATES AS POTENTIAL PHOTOCATIONIC POLYMERIZATION INITIATORS, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (5), 1995, pp. 192-193
Three different derivatives of the title esters were synthesized by th
e reaction of the silver salt of the enolate of methyl alpha-cyano-bet
a-hydroxy-p-nitrocinnamate with the corresponding sulfonyl chloride de
rivatives and tested as cationic initiators for the photopolymerizatio
n of isobutyl vinyl ether.
