Abstract
Disclosed are novel aromatic enol ethers. The aromatic enol ethers exhibit low volatile organic content and are reactive film-hardening compounds. The aromatic enol ethers are useful in a variety of chemical applications. The aromatic enol ethers can be used in applications as plasticizers, diluents, wetting agents, coalescing aids and as intermediates in chemical processes. The aromatic enol ethers also have utility as film-hardening additives for coating formulations.
