Abstract
The compounds according to the invention have the formulae Ia or Ib ##STR1## in which Y is a divalent organic radical and Z is --NH.sub.2, --NH-alkyl having 1-4 C atoms, --OH, --COOH, --COCl, --O--CO--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2, ##STR2## --COO--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 or --O--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2. These novel 3- or 4-azidophthalic acid derivatives may be used for the preparation of photo-crosslinkable polymers. Compared to corresponding photosensitive polymers of the prior art, these novel polymers have the advantages that they are even more photosensitive and that they also absorb in the long wavelength UV region (at wavelengths greater than 320 nm).
Claims5
A compound of formula Ib ##STR33## in which Y is alkylene having 2 to 18 carbon atoms;
- said alkylene substituted by one or two phenyl groups, by one or two cycloalkyl groups having 5 to 8 carbon atoms or by one or two aralkyl groups having 7 or 8 carbon atoms;
- phenylene, naphthylene, biphenylene, cyclohexylene, dicyclohexylmethane or ##STR34## where X is ##STR35## or said phenylene, said naphthylene, said diphenylene, said cyclohexylene, said dicyclohexylmethane or said ##STR36## substituted, per ring, by one halogen atom, by one alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, by one cycloalkyl group having 5 to 7 carbon atoms or by one aralkyl group having 7 or 8 carbon atoms, and Z is --OH.
