Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of carboxylic acid amides from carbonyl compounds and hydrocyanic acid. The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of alkyl (meth)acrylates, polymers, molding materials and plastic moldings. Background technique
[0002] The preparation of carboxylic acid amides by hydrolysis of carboxylic acid nitriles in the presence of catalysts comprising manganese dioxide has been prior art for a long time. Carboxamides are required in many cases as intermediates in industry. For example α-hydroxyisobutyramide can be used for the preparation of methacrylic acid or methacrylate esters, especially methyl methacrylate.
[0003] A particularly preferred process for the preparation of carboxylic acid amides is described in detail in WO 2008 / 061822 A1.
[0004] Although the teachings of the documents detailed above have led to relatively inexpensive preparations, there is a constant need ...
