Abstract

Abstract Process for the manufacture of α,β-unsaturated N-substituted carboxylic acid amides of the general formula ##STR1## in which R 1 represents H or CH 3 R 2 represents H or CH 3 , and Y represents a divalent straight-chain or branched organic radical having 2-30 carbon atoms, and R 3 represents H or the radical of an amine of the formula --N(R 4 )(R 5 ), in which R 4 and R 5 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 R 6 O--, in which R 6 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with amines of the general formula H.sub.2 N--(Y)--R.sub.3 III 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.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 156 words
A process for the manufacture of an α,β-unsaturated N-substituted carboxylic acid amide of the formula ##STR5## in which R 1 and R 2 are independently is H or CH 3 , Y is a divalent organic radical having 2-30 carbon atoms, R 3 is H or a radical of the formula-N(R 4 )(R 5 ), and R 4 and R 5 each independently is an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, comprising reacting an α,β-substituted carboxylic acid amid of the formula ##STR6## in which Z is a hydroxy group or an alkoxy radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with an amine of the formula H.sub.2 N--(Y)--R.sub.3 at a temperature of about 100° to 200° C. with the elimination of ammonia thereby to form an N-substituted β-hydroxycarboxylic or β-alkoxycarboxylic acid amide of the formula ##STR7## and heating such amide in the presence of a catalyst thereby to produce the corresponding α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid amide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 156 words
A process for the manufacture of an α,β-unsaturated N-substituted carboxylic acid amide of the formula ##STR5## in which R 1 and R 2 are independently is H or CH 3 , Y is a divalent organic radical having 2-30 carbon atoms, R 3 is H or a radical of the formula-N(R 4 )(R 5 ), and R 4 and R 5 each independently is an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, comprising reacting an α,β-substituted carboxylic acid amid of the formula ##STR6## in which Z is a hydroxy group or an alkoxy radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with an amine of the formula H.sub.2 N--(Y)--R.sub.3 at a temperature of about 100° to 200° C. with the elimination of ammonia thereby to form an N-substituted β-hydroxycarboxylic or β-alkoxycarboxylic acid amide of the formula ##STR7## and heating such amide in the presence of a catalyst thereby to produce the corresponding α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid amide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
A process according to claim 1, in which Z is a hydroxy group and heating of the N-substituted β-hydroxycarboxylic acid amide to produce the N-substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid amide is effected in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 26 words
A process according to claim 2, in which phosphorus pentoxide, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, polyphosphoric acid, sulphuric acid or sodium hydroxide is used as the catalyst.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 20 words
A process according to claim 2, in which heating is effected at a temperature of about 100° to 250° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 105 words
A processing according to claim 3, in which Y is a radical of the formula--(Y 1 ) m --(Y 2 ) n --(Y 3 ) t , in which Y 1 , Y 2 and Y 3 each independently is an alkylene radical or the radical of a cyclic organic ring system having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, and the sum of m, n and t is 2 or 3, and heating is effected in the liquid phase at a temperature of about 150° to 200° C., the resulting α,β-unsaturated N-substituted carboxylic acid amide being isolated from the reaction mixture by distillation under reduced pressure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 42 words
A process according to claim 1, in which Z is an alkoxy radical and heating of the N-substituted α,β-alkoxycarboxylic acid amide to produce the N-substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid amide by splitting off alcohol is effected in the presence of a basic catalyst.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 32 words
A process according to claim 6, in which sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium oxide and/or barium oxide is used as the basic catalyst for splitting off the alcohol.
Claim 9

Claim 10
Dependent Claim 107 words
A process according to claim 7, in which Y is a radical of the formula--(Y 1 ) m --(Y 2 ) n --(Y 3 ) t , in which Y 1 , Y 2 and Y 3 each independently is an alkylene radical or the radical of a cyclic organic ring system having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, and the sum of m, n and t is 2 or 3, and the alcohol is split off in the liquid phase at a temperature of about 90° to 110° C., the resulting α,β-unsaturated N-substituted carboxylic acid amide being isolated from the reaction mixture by distillation under reduced pressure.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 33 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the heating of the α,β-hydroxycarboxylic acid amide or α,β-alkoxycarboxylic acid amide to produce the N-substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid amide is effected in the liquid phase.
