Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for continuously producing the tert-butyl ester of an aliphatic C1-C4 carboxylic acid comprising a) reacting an aliphatic C1-C4 carboxylic acid with isobutene in the presence of an acidic catalyst in order to form an esterification mixture (G1); b) partially evaporating the esterification mixture (G1), whereby a liquid first high-boiler phase (SPh1) containing the acidic catalyst and a first exhaust vapor (B1) containing tert-butyl ester are obtained; c) condensing the first exhaust vapor (B1) in a fractionating manner by partially condensing the first exhaust vapor (B1) at a first pressure and a first temperature and obtaining a first condensate (K1), partially condensing the non-condensed second exhaust vapor (B2) at a second pressure and a second temperature and obtaining a second condensate (K2), wherein the first temperature lies 0 to 45 °C below the condensation temperature of the tert-butyl ester at the first pressure and the second temperature lies 45 to 80 °C below the condensation temperature of the tert-butyl ester at the second pressure, with the stipulation that the second temperature lies at least 5 °C below the first temperature; and d) combining the first condensate (K1) and the second condensate (K2) and feeding the first and second condensates to a joint processing operation, and feeding the third exhaust vapor (B3), which is not condensed at the second temperature, back to step a). The method allows the tert-butyl ester of an aliphatic C1-C4 carboxylic acid to be produced by reacting the carboxylic acid with isobutene, wherein unreacted isobutene is isolated from the esterification mixture in an energetically favorable manner and with an improved degree of separation.

Abstract:
A process for continuously producing the tert-butyl ester of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid where a) an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid is reacted with isobutene in the presence of an acidic catalyst to give an esterification mixture; b) the acidic catalyst is removed; c) low-boiling-point constituents are removed; and d) a liquid containing tert-butyl ester is introduced into a distillation device and the product is purified by distillation in the distillation device, where d1) the liquid containing tert-butyl ester is separated in the distillation device to give a gaseous overhead product containing tert-butyl ester and a liquid bottom product containing carboxylic acid; d2) the gaseous overhead product containing tert-butyl ester is at least to some extent condensed and some of the condensate is returned to the distillation device; d3) the liquid bottom product containing carboxylic acid is at least to some extent returned to step a); d4) liquid bottom product containing carboxylic acid is drawn off and conducted to a heater, a superheated liquid return stream is taken from the heater and the superheated return stream is depressurized into the distillation device; and d5) at least in the overhead region of the distillation device those walls of the distillation device that are in contact with the vapours are thermally insulated and/or heated at least in some regions. The separation of the tert-butyl ester from unreacted carboxylic acid in the process proceeds with a particularly small extent of polymerization both of the tert-butyl ester and of the carboxylic acid.
