Method for preparing 3-hydracrylic acid ester derivative

The invention discloses a method for preparing a 3-hydracrylic acid ester derivative, which comprises the step of in the presence of an alcohol compound and a hydrodeoxygenation catalyst, reacting glyceric acid with hydrogen and the alcohol compound to obtain the 3-hydracrylic acid ester derivative, wherein the hydrodeoxygenation catalyst is a mixture of a supported metal catalyst and at least one supported metal oxide catalyst and/or at least one supported heteropolyacid catalyst. The method disclosed by the invention is green and environment-friendly, and the yield of the 3-hydracrylic acid ester derivative is high.

Producing method of 3-hydroxypropanoate

The invention relates to a producing method of 3-hydroxypropanoate. The problems that a catalyst is complex in preparation and low in activity in the prior art are mainly solved. According to the producing method of the 3-hydroxypropanoate, with the presence of a cobalt salt, ligand and a cocatalyst, oxirane, synthesis gas and alcohol react to obtain the 3-hydroxypropanoate, wherein the cobalt salt is one of cobalt phosphate, cobalt sulfate, cobalt acetate, cobalt chloride, cobalt carbonate, cobalt nitrate, cobalt hydroxide, cobalt oxide and cobalt oxalate, the ligand is N-containing ligand, and the cocatalyst is metal powder or a carrier-loaded metal element. By means of the technical scheme, the technical problem is well solved, and the method can be used for industrial production of the3-hydroxypropanoate.
