Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for producing a pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic acid ester of the present invention includes: a step of reacting pentaerythritol with a mercaptocarboxylic acid, in which an absorbance of a 5 wt % aqueous solution of the pentaerythritol at a wavelength of 270 nm, which is measured using a quartz cell having an optical path length of 50 mm, is 0.07 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for producing a pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic acid ester, the method comprising: a step of reacting pentaerythritol with a mercaptocarboxylic acid to obtain a pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic acid ester, wherein an absorbance of a 5 wt % aqueous solution of the pentaerythritol at a wavelength of 270 nm, which is measured using a quartz cell having an optical path length of 50 mm, is 0.003 or more and 0.07 or less, the content of bispentaerythritol in the pentaerythritol, with respect to the total weight of the pentaerythritol, is 1 wt % to 5 wt %, and the content of Na and Ca in the pentaerythritol, with respect to the total weight of the pentaerythritol, is less than 1 wt %. 2. The process for producing a pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic acid ester according to claim 1 , wherein the mercaptocarboxylic acid is a 3-mercaptopropionic acid or a thioglycolic acid. 3. A polymerizable composition comprising: the pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic acid ester obtained through the production method according to claim 1 ; and a polyiso(thio)cyanate compound. 4. A resin obtained by curing the polymerizable composition according to claim 3 . 5. An optical material composed of the resin according to claim 4 . 6. A lens composed of the resin according to claim 4 .
