Abstract:
A process for producing a 2-hydrocarbyl-2-adamantyl acrylate compound represented by the following Formula 6: wherein R1 is a hydrocarbyl group, R2 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, each Y is the same or different, and is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a hydroxyl group and a halogen atom, and n is 14;the process comprising a first step of reacting a 2-adamantanone compound represented by the following Formula 1: wherein Y and n are the same as defined above;with an organometallic compound represented by the following Formula 2 or 3:R1MgXâ€ƒâ€ƒ(2) R1Liâ€ƒâ€ƒ(3) wherein R1 is the same as defined above, and X is a halogen atom, thereby forming a reaction product in the first step;and a second step of reacting said reaction product in the first step with an acrylic compound being represented by the following Formula 4 or 5: wherein R2 is the same as defined above, and R3 is an alkyl group.
