摘要:
The present invention describes a process for preparing alpha-beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids by dehydration of hydroxycarboxylic or alkoxycarboxylic acids which are substituted in the alpha position, in particular 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid, while avoiding accumulation of by-products and additives.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of alpha-hydroxycarboxylic esters by means of alcoholysis of the corresponding alpha-hydroxycarboxamide under heterogeneous catalysis.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing a carboxylic acid amide from a carbonyl compound and hydrocyanic acid, comprising the steps of A) reacting a carbonyl compound with hydrocyanic acid to produce a hydroxycarboxylic acid nitrile, B) hydrolysis of the hydroxycarboxylic acid nitrile obtained in step A) in the presence of a catalyst comprising manganese dioxide, wherein a molar excess of carbonyl compound is used in relation to the hydrocyanic acid to react the carbonyl compound with hydrocyanic acid according to step A), and the reaction mixture obtained in step A) is not purified by distillation before the hydrolysis according to step B) is carried out. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing alkyl(meth)acrylates from polymers, moulding compounds and moulded bodies, wherein a method for producing a carboxylic acid amide from a carbonyl compound and hydrocyanic acid is carried out in accordance with the method described above.
