α-acrylic acids

α-Unsaturated Acids in Diels-Alder Reaction

The effect of reagents molar ratio and temperature, the amount of toluene as solvent and pyrogallol as inhibitor on the yield of alkylcyclohexene acids has been established at their production via Diels-Alder reaction using 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene and alkylacrylic acids. The structure and physico-chemical characteristics of the synthesized compounds have been determined.
