Abstract:
@ A method for conducting a chemical process in which a feed containing at least one liquid is introduced into a vessel containing a plurality of packed, vertically arranged tubes, and in which at least one liquid product and at least one gaseous product are obtained, in which the tubes and a space above them are kept flooded with liquid by controlled removal of liquid product from the lower portion ofthe vessel.
a) N,N-diallyldichloroacetamide, and b) N-dichloroacetyl oxazolidines having the formula
in which R is hydrogen or C 1 -C 3 alkyl are produced, in a continuous circulating process, by reaction of dichloroacetyl chloride with N,N-diallylamine or an oxazolidine having the formula in the presence of an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. This process produces the desired amide in greater yield than by the previously practiced batch processes.
