Methyl formate → Formamide

참여 물질

반응 단계

The procedure in Example 3 (3) was repeated to proceed with heating stirring reaction except that in place of 180 g of methyl formate and 96 g of methanol, 200 g of methanol was charged in the autoclave and carbon monoxide was pressurized into the autoclave so as to maintain the internal pressure at 40 kg/cm2G. After the temperature of the content in the autoclave reached 60° C., carbon monoxide was fed in the autoclave so as to maintain the internal pressure at 40 kg/cm2G to proceed with the reaction for 3 hours. Subsequently, the content therein was cooled, internal pressure was gradually lowered to atmospheric pressure, and the reaction product was taken out. As a result of analysis therefor, the conversion of methyl 3-carbamoylisobutyrate was 81.4% and there were obtained dimethyl methylsuccinate at a selectivity of 95.7% and formamide at a selectivity of 94.4%, each based on the reacted methyl 3-carbamoylisobutyrate.
