The term “C2-C10 alkenyl” as used herein refers to an unsaturated straight or branched hydrocarbon group with 2 to 10 carbon atoms having one free valence. Unsaturated means that the alkenyl group contains at least one C—C double bond. C2-C10 alkenyl includes for example ethenyl, 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl, 1-n-butenyl, 2-n-butenyl, iso-butenyl, 1-pentenyl, 1-hexenyl, and the like. Preferred are C2-C6 alkenyl groups, more preferred are C2-C4 alkenyl groups, most preferred are ethenyl and propenyl, in particular 1-propen-3-yl, also called allyl.
The term “C2 to C10 alkynyl” as used herein refers to an unsaturated straight or branched hydrocarbon group with 2 to 10 carbon atoms having one free valence, wherein the hydrocarbon group contains at least one C—C triple bond. C2-C10 alkynyl includes for example ethynyl, propynyl, 1-n-butinyl, 2-n-butynyl, iso-butinyl, 1-pentynyl, 1-hexynyl, and the like. Preferred are C2-C6 alkynyl, more preferred are C2-C4 alkynyl, e.g ethynyl, 1-propyn-3-yl (CCCH3, also called propargyl) and but-2-yn-1-yl (CH2CCCH3).
According to one embodiment at least one R is selected from C1 to C10 alkyl, preferably C1 to C6 alkyl, and more preferred C1 to C4 alkyl wherein the alkyl may be substituted by one or more additional substituents selected from F and CN, preferably the alkyl is substituted by F. Examples are from methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, 2-methyl propyl, and t-butyl, which may be substituted by one or more additional substituents selected from F and CN like trifluoromethyl, CF3CH2, and CF3CF2.
