Abstract

In the course of the preparation of new vinyl monomers, a convenient synthesis for alkyl fum- aryl chlorides was developed. These acid chlorides served as intermediates for the preparation of various thiolfumarate esters and alkyl aryl fuma- rates via the Schotten-Baumann reacti0n.l As there are numerous examples of the synthesis and polymerization of cyanomethyl esters of a,& unsaturated acids reported in the literature,2 it was thought that alkyl ...
