The sugar conversion into C1-C3 oxygenates with Sn-Beta catalysts opens up for the production of chemicals such as for instance glycolaldehyde, ethylene glycol, glycolic acid and methyl vinyl glycolate (MVG). Although MVG fulfills the requirements for a sustainable platform molecule, its applications  are relatively unexplored. Examples of general strategies suggested for transformation of MVG into other valuable compounds are homo methathesis, cross methathesis, Calisen-type rearrangements, and oxygen-centered rearrangement. In this talk we will present and discuss results describing the potential use of MVG in UV-curing formulations. Properties such as reactivity, film formation, hardness, chemical resistance, adhesion and scratch resistance have been evaluated.
