Hydroxymethyl-group-containing alicyclic compound and process for producing the same

Abstract

Hydroxymethyl-group-containing alicyclic compounds that are useful for making photosensitive resins and other functional polymers. Processes for producing the hydroxymethyl-group-containing alicyclic compounds. Polymerizable alicyclic compounds. The alicyclic moieties in all of these compounds may be a polycyclic ring such as a perhydroindene ring, a decalin ring, a perhydrofluorene ring, a perhydroanthracene ring, a perhydrophenanthrene ring, a tricyclo[5.2.1.02.6]decane ring, a perhydroacenaphthene ring, or a perhydrophenalene ring.
