Sulfonic acid ester compound and use therefor

Abstract

Provided is a sulfonic acid ester compound represented by formula (1). (In the formula, R1 and R2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, or a straight-chain or branched monovalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group. R3 represents a straight-chain or branched monovalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group. The sum of the carbon numbers of R1, R2 and R3 is 6 or greater. A1 represents —O— or —S—. A2 represents an aromatic group having a valence of (n+1). A3 represents a hydrocarbon group which has a valence of m, and is unsubstituted or has a substituent that contains one or more aromatic rings. m represents an integer satisfying 2≤m≤4. n represents an integer satisfying 1≤n≤4.)

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
