There are presented conditions and parameters of synthesis of hydroxya
lkyl methacrylates and acrylates from respective acids and oxyranes as
well as reactions of obtained hydroxyalkyl esters with methacrylic ac
id leading to the synthesis of alkyl dimethylacrylates. There are disc
ussed results of studies on the synthesis of polymethacrylates from po
lyalcohols. Described compounds belong to the group of monomers being
applied to the production of water-soluble varnishes, urethanoesters a
nd cross linking agents for polymers.
