- Process for the production of N-substituted acrylic acid amides
-
The present invention relates to a process for the production of N-substituted acrylic acid amides by conversion of 2-carboalkoxy-t-oxabicyclo(2,2,1)hept-5-enes with primary or secondary amines to 2-carboxamide-7-oxabicyclo(2,2,1)hept-5-enes and the thermal decomposition of the latter, preferably in the presence of Lewis acids and in a vacuum, to furane and N-substituted acrylic acid amides. The process according to the invention results in high purity N-substituted acrylic acid amides that are, in the main, free of bifunctional monomers which would disrupt the subsequent polymerization of the N-substituted acrylic acid amides by undesired cross-linking.

- Process for the manufacture of α,β-unsaturated N-substituted carboxylic acid amides
-
Process for the manufacture of α,β-unsaturated N-substituted carboxylic acid amides of the general formula STR1 in which R1 represents H or CH3 R2 represents H or CH3, and Y represents a divalent straight-chain or branched organic radical having 2-30 carbon atoms, and R3 represents H or the radical of an amine of the formula --N(R4)(R5), in which R4 and R5 represent alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, by reacting β-substituted carboxylic acid amides of the formula STR2 in which Z represents OH or the radical R6 O--, in which R6 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with amines of the general formula at temperatures in the range of 100° to 200° C., preferably 120° to 175° C., with the elimination of ammonia, and heating the resulting N-substituted β-hydroxycarboxylic or β-alkoxycarboxylic acid amides in the presence of catalysts, water or alcohol, respectively, being split off. The water is split off at temperatures of 100°-250° C. with acidic catalysts such as phosphoric acid, or basic catalysts such as sodium hydroxide, and alcohol is split off at 70°-150° C. with basic catalysts such as sodium or potassium hydroxide. The reaction product is separated by distillation, optionally in vacuo.
