Claims
- 1. In a process for making esters of the formula ##STR11##by the reaction of a compound of the formula
- R(OH).sub.x
- with a compound of the formula ##STR12## wherein R and R.sub.1 are each independently alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, aryl, or substituted aryl, and X is halogen, and x is a positive integer, in the presence of sufficient tertiary amine as an acceptor for the hydrogen halide generated by the reaction, the improvement which comprises conducting said reaction in a polar aprotonic solvent as the reaction medium, wherein the solvent is comprised of acetone.
- 2. In a process for making bis acrylates by the reaction of an acryl halide with a diol, or by the reaction of a hydroxyalkyl acrylate with a dicarboxylic acid halide, in the presence of sufficient tertiary amine as an acceptor for the hydrogen halide generated by the reaction, the improvement which comprises conducting said reaction in acetone as the reaction medium.
