Patent ID: 7378542

Claim:
A fluoroalkanol-substituted α,β-unsaturated ester having the structure of formula (VII) wherein: R 21 is selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 24 alkyl, substituted C 1 -C 24 alkyl, C 1 -C 24 alkoxy, and substituted C 1 -C 24 alkoxy; R 22 is selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 24 alkyl, and substituted C 1 -C 24 alkyl, or may be taken together with R 21 to form a ring; one of R 23 and R 26 is hydrogen, and the other has the structure of formula (VI) wherein R 17 is selected from hydrogen, fluoro, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, fluorinated C 1 -C 4 alkyl, —CH 2 —COOH, —CF 2 —COOH, —CH 2 —COOR 20 , and —CF 2 —COOR 20 , R 18 is hydrogen or fluoro, R 19 is hydrogen, fluoro, or —COOH, and R 20 is a nonhydrogen substituent; R 24 and R 25 are selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 24 alkyl and substituted C 1 -C 24 alkyl, or may be taken together to form a ring; R 27 is selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 24 alkyl, substituted C 1 -C 24 alkyl, and —(CO)—R in which R is hydrogen, hydroxyl, halo, C 1 -C 24 alkyl, substituted C 1 -C 24 alkyl, amino, C 1 -C 24 alkylamino, or di(C 1 -C 24 alkyl)amino, and R 30 is C 1 -C 24 alkyl or substituted C 1 -C 24 alkyl, with the proviso that at least one of R 27 and R 30 is fluorinated; and R 28 and R 29 are independently selected from hydrogen, fluoro, C 1 -C 24 alkyl, and substituted C 1 -C 24 alkyl, or may be taken together to form a ring.
