  • Cycloalkylsulfonates, polymers and processes relating to same
    Patent number: 4506094
    Abstract: A novel compound having the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R is alkyl containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; andM is a monovalent cation, selected from the group consisting of alkali metal and ammonium, has been synthesized in high yield by hydrogenating the corresponding arylsulfonate in a solvent which simultaneously prevents hydration of the sulfonate group and hydrolysis of the ester functions. The compound is useful in preparing condensation polymers having ionic groups. In particular, these condensation polymers comprise additional polymerized copolymerizable dicarboxylic acids and diols, diamines or hydroxyamines, to yield polyesterionomers useful in dye imbibition photohardenable imaging materials for forming positive dye images.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 1983
    Date of Patent: March 19, 1985
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
