Autocatalytic decomposition of a β-tosyloxyketone acetal as an acid amplifier

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587259608040348

By the action of a small amount of an acid, 2-phenyi-2-(2tosyloxyethyl)-1,3-dioxolane decomposed to give p-toluenesulfonic acid resulting in the proliferation of acid molecules. The decomposition manner was stepwise in solution state and autocatalytic in polymer film. The sensitivity of an acidcatalyzed photoimaging material was enhanced by 10 times upon the addition of the above compound due to the acid proliferation.
