FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to compounds of formula , where R1 denotes C1-C10 straight or branched alkyl or alkoxyalkyl; one of A or B denotes hydrogen and another denotes C1-C10 straight or branched alkoxycarbonyl group; "n" and "m" independently denote integers from 0 to 20. The disclosed compounds are suitable as plasticisers for polyvinyl chloride, poly-(3-hydroxyalkanoate) and polysaccharide. The invention also describes methods of obtaining said compounds through a reaction between derivatives of epoxidated fatty acid esters and levulinic acid esters. The present invention also relates to mono-, di- and tri-ketals which are adducts formed from reaction of alkyl esters of levulinate and epoxidated unsaturated fatty acid esters derived from vegetable oils.
EFFECT: improved properties of compounds.
