Beta keto mixed acylate monomers

Abstract

Novel ketone monomers containing both alpha-beta unsaturated acylate and unsaturated fatty acylate substituents on more carbon atoms beta to the carbonyl group (Formula 1) have been found to be surprisingly useful in a variety of essentially pollution free coatings applications. a,b,cCC(0)Cd,e,f Formula I Wherein not less than one, but no more than three of a,b,d and e are each independently chosen from among monovalent ligands having the structure --CH.sub.2,O.sub.2 CCR.dbd.CR'R" (wherein each of R,R', and R" is independently chosen from among hydrogen, methyl or ethyl ligands); and wherein at least one, but not more than three of a,b,d and e are each independently chosen from among monovalent ligands having the structure: --CH.sub.2 O.sub.2 CC.sub.n H.sub.2 (n-x)+1 (wherein n is an integer from one to thirty; x is an integer from 0 to 4, but less than [n/2-1]); and wherein both the nonacylate members of the group a,b,d, and e, as well as c and f, are each independently chosen from among hydrogen, or monovalent one to 12 carbon hydrocarbyl ligands. Optionally two or more of said hydrocarbyl ligands may be conjoined to form ring structures.
