PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel preparation method of a tertiary alkyl ester of (meth)acrylic acid with at least 4 carbon atoms in an alkyl group, provided that the method is free of disadvantages associated with conventional technology. SOLUTION: The method for preparing the tertiary alkyl ester of (meth)acrylic acid with at least 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group comprises the steps of: (1) reacting (meth)acrylic acid with at least one olefin of formula I in a homogeneous phase in the presence of an acidic catalyst in a reactor; (2) discharging the obtained reaction mixture (1) from the reactor; (3) separating the discharged reaction mixture (2) into a mixture (3.1) containing the catalyst and a mixture (3.2) containing the target ester and; (4) removing the target ester from the mixture (3.2). (5) In the treatment step (4), at least one compound S containing at least one N-oxyl group is added as a stabilizer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
Tertiary alkyl ester production involves reacting methacrylic acid with an olefin in homogeneous phase in presence of an acidic catalyst in a reactor. Resulting reaction mixture is discharged from the reactor. The discharged reaction mixture is separated into a mixture, which contains catalyst and a mixture containing tertiary alkyl ester of methacrylic acid having 4 carbon atoms in alkyl residue. The tertiary alkyl ester of methacrylic acid is removed from the mixture, and a compound, which contains N-oxyl group is added as stabilizer. The olefin has general formula (I). R 1>,R 2>alkyl residue; and R 3>H, alkyl residue, cycloalkyl residue, aryl residue, alkylcycloalkyl residue, which is bonded to the olefinically unsaturated carbon atom via an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic carbon atom, alkylaryl residue, which is bonded to the olefinically unsaturated carbon atom via an aliphatic or aromatic carbon atom, cycloalkylaryl residue, which is bonded to the olefinically unsaturated carbon atom via a cycloaliphatic or aromatic carbon atom or alkylcycloalkylaryl residue, which is bonded to the olefinically unsaturated carbon atom via an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic carbon atom.
