Abstract: Adamantane derivatives in which two (meth)acryloyloxyalkyl groups are bonded with an adamantane ring through ester groups, adamantane derivatives in which two adamantane rings are bonded through an alkylene group and two urethane bonds, which two adamantane rings each have a (meth)acryloyloxy group bonded thereto directly or through a coupling group, and adamantane derivatives each having a structure in which a group containing an adamantane ring hangs on the alkylene group of an alkylene glycol di(meth)acrylate. The compounds are useful as dental materials intermediates therefor, and as intermediates for optical materials such as lenses.

Abstract: In a process of the present invention for producing a bridged cyclic polycarboxylic acid t-butyl ester, a bridged cyclic polycarboxylic halide of following Formula (1): (wherein ring Z is a bridged cyclic carbon ring; X is a halogen atom; and m denotes an integer of 2 or more, where ring Z may have a substituent) is allowed to react with t-butyl alcohol or its alkali metal salt to thereby yield an ester of following Formula (2): (wherein tBu is a t-butyl group; and ring Z and m have the same meanings as defined above.) This process can commercially efficiently produce a bridged cyclic polycarboxylic acid t-butyl ester. The compound of Formula (1) can be prepared by allowing a bridged cyclic polycarboxylic acid of following Formula (3): (wherein ring Z is a bridged cyclic carbon ring; and m denotes an integer of 2 or more, where ring Z may have a substituent) to react with a halogenating agent.

Abstract: A catalyst includes a cyclic imide compound having an N-substituted cyclic imide skeleton represented by following Formula (I): 1
