A novel neopentyl .alpha.-cyanoacrylate composition is provided. The composition which includes neopentyl .alpha.-cyanoacrylate has superior adhesive properties even at high temperatures and is characterized by the absence of the whitening phenomenon.

.alpha.-cyanoacrylate containing adhesive composition

A novel neopentyl .alpha.-cyanoacrylate is provided. It has superior adhesive properties even at high temperatures and whitening-preventing property.

.alpha.-cyanoacrylate and adhesive composition

A silicon-containing alpha-cyanoacrylate, useful as an adhesive, having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is an alkylene group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each alkyl groups containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, is disclosed. A process for preparing the silicon-containing alpha-cyanoacrylate compound is also set forth. In this process a cyanoacetate having the structural formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are as defined above, is dehydrocondensed with formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde in the presence of a basic catalyst to produce a condensation polymer. The condensation polymer is thereupon depolymerized at elevated temperature to produce the silicon-containing alpha-cyanoacrylate.
