An efficient heteropolyacid catalyzed acylation of pyruvate esters to α-acyloxyacrylate esters as potential candidate monomers for bio-based polymers

Abstract

α-Acyloxyacrylate esters were efficiently synthesized from pyruvate esters and carboxylic anhydrides under mild conditions. These esters are potential candidate monomers for bio-based polymers with high durability and transparency. Tungsten-based Keggin type heteropolyacids, especially H3PW12O40, worked more effectively as catalysts for this reaction than other typical acids.
