Tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate

AH the common monobasic (107) and dibasic esters (108) of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol have been prepared by conventional techniques the dibasic esters and some of the mono esters are effective as primary or secondary plasticizers for vinyl polymers. Tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate [2399-48-6] and methacrjiate [2455-24-5] specialty monomers, have been produced by carbonylation (nickel carbonyl and acetylene) of the alcohol (109) as weU as by direct esterification (110—112) and ester interchange (111). 

Tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate and methacrylate reactive unsaturated monomers, are readily polymerized and easily cross-linked by exposure to heat, peroxide catalysts, or uv radiation. 

Subsequently to the work on DIBF above, two other aromatic ketones, 2-chlorothioxanthone (CTX) and Michler s ketone (MK) were studied as photosensitizers for the decomposition of onium borates [55, 56]. Each absorbs light at 365 mn and their photochemistry and photophysics are well known. The time dependence of the photopolymerization of tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate (THFA) in MeCN solution in the presence of CTX with selected onium borates (Figure 12) is shown in Figure 13. The rate of polymerization is dependent on the solvent with the fastest polymerizations observed when the onium borates are used in solvents where they form tight ion pairs. Thus higher rates are observed in the less polar CH2CI2. It is obvious that the rate of photopolymerization without sensitizer is much slower (two orders of magnitude) than that observed for sensitized photoinitiated polymerization.

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) is used to prepare tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate and methacrylate in transesterification reactions with lower acrylate esters. These reactive monomers are used in the formulation of ultraviolet light-curable adhesives, coating, paints, and printing inks. THFA is an effective coalescing solvent for latex paints and is used in epoxy resin formulations. The oleic acid ester of THFA is used as a plasticizer for vinyl resin products. The high solvency of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol for dyes permits higher dye...
