Patent ID: 8344072

Claim:
A product obtained from an at least dihydric polyalcohol (C) comprising different hydroxyl groups by subjecting alternatively (1) at least one polyalcohol (C 1 ) having at least one primary hydroxyl group and at least one secondary hydroxyl group, or (2) at least one polyalcohol (C 2 ) having at least one primary hydroxyl group and at least one tertiary hydroxyl group, or (3) at least one polyalcohol (C 3 ) having at least one secondary hydroxyl group and at least one tertiary hydroxyl group, the more highly substituted hydroxyl group carrying in the β position at least one alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl radical, or (4) at least one polyalcohol (C 4 ) having at least two primary hydroxyl groups, of which at least one carries in the β position at least one alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl radical and at least one carries in the β position no such radical, or (5) at least one polyalcohol (C 5 ) having at least two secondary hydroxyl groups, of which at least one carries in the β position at least one alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl radical and at least one carries in the β position no such radical, to esterification with (meth)acrylic acid or to transesterification with at least one (meth)acrylic ester (D) in the presence of at least one enzyme (E).
