Page/Page column 19, (2011/12/01)
The present invention relates to an N-(1-hydroxyethyl)carboxamidecompound represented by formula(1) (in the formula, RA and RB represent independently from each other a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms except for a case where RA and RB represent a hydrogen atom at the same time) and a method for producing the same; a method for producing an N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxamide compound; a method for producing an N-vinyl carboxylic acid amide compound; and a method for producing an N-vinyl carboxylic acid amide (co)polymer. An N- (1-alkoxyethyl) carboxamide compound can be obtained by reacting N-(1-hydroxyethyl)carboxamide compound with alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, and an N-vinyl carboxylic acid amide compound, which is a monomer of the N-vinyl carboxylic acid amide (co)polymer, can be obtained by thermally decomposing or catalytically decomposing the N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxamide compound.

N-Vinyl-N-alkyl-carboxylic acid amides are prepared, starting from N-ethyl-carboxylic acid amides, in a 3-stage process consisting of the following stages: (a) anodic alkoxylation of the N-ethyl-carboxylic acid amides to give N-α-alkoxyethyl-carboxylic acid amides; (b) alkylation of these N-α-alkoxyethyl-carboxylic acid amides with an alkyl halide or dialkyl sulfate in an alkaline medium to give N-α-alkoxyethyl-N-alkyl-carboxylic acid amides; and (c) splitting off of alcohol from the products of stage (b) by heating to temperatures between about 60° and about 350° C. Instead of stages (b) and (c), it is also possible to carry out the following stages after stage (a): (b1) splitting off of alcohol from the N-α-alkoxyethylcarboxylic acid amides obtained in stage (a) by heating to temperatures of about 60° to about 600° C., to give N-vinyl-carboxylic acid amides; and (c1) alkylation of these N-vinyl-carboxylic acid amides by reaction with an alkylating agent of the same type as in stage (b) in an alkaline medium. The N-vinyl-N-alkyl-carboxylic acid amides obtained by the process are valuable intermediate products, in particular for the manufacture of homopolymers and copolymers with interesting properties.
