Patent number: 4335054Abstract: Compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which p, m, Z, R, R' and Y are as defined in claim 1, can be obtained in a simple and economical manner by a novel process which comprises reacting a halide of the formula ##STR2## with the corresponding acrylic acid derivative, in the presence of a base and of certain palladium catalysts, such as palladium acetate. The compounds (I), and functional derivatives prepared therefrom, are useful for the preparation of photocrosslinkable polymers, which can in particular be employed as (so-called) photoresists.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 1981Date of Patent: June 15, 1982Assignee: Ciba-Geigy CorporationInventors: Hans-Ulrich Blaser, Dieter Reinehr, Alwyn Spencer

Patent number: 4335055Abstract: Compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which Z, Z.sub.1, R, m and p are as defined in patent claim 1, can be obtained in a simple and economical manner by a novel process wherein a halide of the formula II ##STR2## is reacted with a substituted or unsubstituted vinylbenzene or vinylnaphthalene derivative in the presence of a base and of certain palladium catalysts, such as palladium acetate. The compounds (I) or functional derivatives preparable therefrom are useful, for example, for the preparation of known dyes or fluorescent brighteners, or can be used directly as fluorescent brighteners or as scintillators.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 1981Date of Patent: June 15, 1982Assignee: Ciba-Geigy CorporationInventors: Hans-Ulrich Blaser, Dieter Reinehr, Alwyn Spencer
