Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

51.99 g acrylic acid and 0.3 g BHT were heated in a round-bottom flask to 80° C. Under stirring, 81.3 g molten undecyl oxazoline was slowly added during 1 hour maintaining the reaction temperature at 80° C . After stirring for another hour at 80° C. the reaction mixture was poured into 200 ml diethyl ether and washed with water, twice with a 10% sodium bicarbonate solution and twice with water. After drying on magnesium sulfate, filtration and evaporation in vacuo of the solvent 100.5 g of N-acryloxyethylundecylamide was obtained.
