摘要:
This invention relates to a method for the production of unsaturated carboxylic acid esters. More particularly, this invention relates to a method for efficient production of a corresponding ester from an acrylic acid or methacrylic acid (hereinafter referred to collectively as "(meth)acrylic acid") by the reaction of the (meth)acrylic acid with an aliphatic alcohol of 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the presence of a strongly acidic cation-exchange resin catalyst.
摘要:
In a process for producing an acrylic or methacrylic ester by esterifying acrylic or methacrylic acid with a lower aliphatic alcohol having 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the presence of an acidic catalyst, the improvement which comprises(1) distilling the resulting esterification reaction mixture while feeding the acrylic or methacrylic ester into a distillation column from outside the system, thereby to yield as a distillate a mixture composed of the acrylic or methacrylic ester, water and the unreacted alcohol and being substantially free from acrylic or methacrylic acid, and (2) recycling the residue in the distillation column, from which the ester and water formed have been substantially removed, to the esterification reaction in such a proportion that the mole ratio of acrylic or methacrylic acid to the alcohol in the entire starting materials fed to the esterification reaction is kept at 1:0.5-1.0.
摘要:
In the operation of producing an alkylamino(meth)acrylate by the reaction of transesterification of an alkyl(meth)acrylate with an alkylamino alcohol, the alkyl alcohol by-produced during the transesterification is distilled in the form of an azeotropic mixture with the alkyl(meth)acrylate, the resultant distillate is purified with an ion-exchange resin and handled, on the other hand, the reaction solution is distilled to allow separation of the catalyst wherein is provided a method and apparatus for effecting, in the production of the alkylamino(meth)acrylate, the distillation under such a condition as represses the amount of in crease of the Michael adduct below 2%.
