Patent ID: 8334393

Claim:
A process comprising a) providing a chiral organic diol; b) reacting the chiral organic diol with one or more functionalized alkyl acids or acid halide(s) of the Formula (II): wherein X is Cl, Br or OH; X 1 is selected from the group: Cl, Br, I, —OMs, —OTs, and —OTf; and n is an integer equal to 3 to 20; in a first reaction solvent at a first reaction temperature to provide one or more polyfunctionalized ester(s) and a first spent reaction mixture; and c) reacting the one or more polyfunctionalized ester(s) with a (meth)acrylate salt in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst, and a second reaction solvent at a second reaction temperature; to provide one or more poly (meth)acrylate ester(s) and a second spent reaction mixture; wherein step (b) further comprises addition of an amine base in an amount of about 0.8 to about 5 equivalents per equivalent of the functionalized alkyl acid or alkyl acid halide(s); and step (c) further comprises addition of one or more radical inhibitors.
