The invention relates to a beta-hydroxyalkyl 
amide synthesis process, which comprises the steps of inputting diethanol amine and silica into a reaction kettle, adding a multi-component composite catalyst into the reaction kettle, introducing 
argon gas for three times for gas replacement, extracting gas in the reaction kettle until the pressure reaches negative pressure, stirring and dripping dimethyl 
adipate into the reaction kettle, heating for two times and constantly stirring and introducing 
argon gas at the same time, and obtaining the finished product beta-hydroxyalkyl 
amide after the product cools down naturally. The beta-hydroxyalkyl 
amide synthesis process has the advantages of reasonable process, reliable performance and the like; under the catalytic action of the multi-component composite catalyst, ammonolysis of dimethyl 
adipate is realized through diethanol amine, ,and the beta-hydroxyalkyl amide is obtained, besides, 
sodium carbonate can accelerate the reaction, and 
sodium sulfite and 
sodium citrate have 
efficacy of 
xanthochromia resistance. The structure of the reaction kettle body for beta-hydroxyalkyl amide synthesis is reasonable, and 
temperature control and stirring effect are good; as reaction is performed under segmented temperature in the reaction kettle, 
mass production requirement can be satisfied.
