PHOTOCURABLE COMPOSITION, CURED PRODUCT AND OPTICAL COMPONENT USING SAME

Provided is a photocurable composition which less causes resin-induced swelling of molds, allows the molds to endure more satisfactorily, and has excellent economic efficiency. This photocurable composition includes components (A), (B), (C), and (D). The component (A) is present in a content of 10 to 50 weight percent of the totality of photocurable compounds contained in the photocurable composition. The component (A) is a cycloaliphatic epoxy compound represented by Formula (a). The component (B) is an oxetane compound having a solubility parameter of 9.5 (cal/cm3)1/2 or more as determined by the Fedors' method. The component (C) is a glycidyl ether epoxy compound having a molecular weight of 250 or more. The component (D) is a photoinitiator: wherein R1 to R18 are each, identically or differently, selected from hydrogen, halogen, a hydrocarbon group optionally containing oxygen or halogen, and optionally substituted alkoxy; and X is selected from a single bond and a linkage group.

Method for producing cyclic olefin compound

Provided is a method for producing a cyclic olefin compound that makes it possible to suppress isomerization reactions and other such secondary reactions, and to efficiently obtain a high-purity cyclic olefin compound containing few impurities easily and at a high yield. In the method for producing a cyclic olefin compound of the present invention, a cyclic olefin compound having two or more cyclohexene rings in the molecule is produced by intramolecular dehydration of an alicyclic alcohol having two or more hydroxyl-group-bonded cyclohexane rings in the molecule in the presence of a dehydration catalyst, wherein the method is characterized in that a dehydration reaction is carried out while supplying the dehydration catalyst continuously or intermittently to a mixed solution containing the alicyclic alcohol and an organic solvent under reflux of an organic solvent that is azeotropic with water and separates from water at ordinary temperatures, or, when the dehydration catalyst is configured from multiple components, while supplying at least one of these components continuously or intermittently to a mixed solution containing the alicyclic alcohol and an organic solvent.

HIGH-PURITY ALICYCLIC DIEPOXY COMPOUND AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

A high-purity cycloaliphatic diepoxy compound of General Formula (II) is an epoxidized product of a cycloaliphatic diolefinic compound of General Formula (I) having an isomer content as detected in gas chromatography (GC) of 15% or less: wherein X represents a bivalent group selected from the group consisting of, for example, O, S, -SO-, -SO2-, -CH2-, and -C(CH3)2-; and R1 to R18 may be the same as or different from each other and each represent hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group which may contain oxygen atom or a halogen atom, or an alkoxy group which may be substituted. Such a high-purity cycloaliphatic diepoxy compound is prepared by producing the cycloaliphatic diolefinic compound through distillation, epoxidizing the compound with an aliphatic percarboxylic acid containing substantially no water, carrying out desolvation, and further purifying the epoxidized compound through distillation.
