Abstract

Sulfamic acid was used as an efficient catalyst and green alternative for metal-containing acidic material to promote the acylation of pyruvate esters to produce α-acyloxyacrylate esters, which were candidate monomers for biobased polymers. Polymers from these monomers were useful materials for bio-based plastics, which showed high heat resistance and transparency. A series of α-acyloxyacrylate esters were converted from pyruvate esters by using sulfamic acid as ...
