Patent ID: 8344175

Claim:
A process comprising: a) providing one or more organic polyol(s) comprising at least two hydroxyl groups and at least two covalently bonded carbon atoms, each hydroxyl group being bonded to a different carbon atom within an organic polyol; b) reacting the organic polyol(s) with one or more functionalized alkyl acid(s) of the Formula (V): wherein X is —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; and a first reaction solvent at a first reaction temperature to provide one or more polyfunctionalized aryl alkanoate ester(s) and a first spent reaction mixture; and c) reacting the one or more polyfunctionalized aryl alkanoate 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-aryl alkanoate ester(s) and a second spent reaction mixture.
