Potassium Carbonate → Diacetone acrylamide oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 408 g. (2.4 moles) of diacetone acrylamide ##STR12## and 200 g. (2.88 moles; 20% molar excess) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 1.5 l. of distilled water was added a solution of 200 g. (1.44 moles) of potassium carbonate in 250 ml. of water at room temperature of about 25° C. over a period of 15 min. A precipitate formed after about 15 minutes. Stirring was continued until a thick paste formed and the mixture was then allowed to stand for another hour. The solid product was isolated by filtration, washed with small portions of water (amounting to a total of 500 ml.) and dried at 40° C. in a vacuum oven. Yield of 365 g. of a white crystalline powder (82% yield), m.p. 103° C. The material was of sufficient purity to be directly employed in polymerization and was employed in the polymerization described in Example 2 hereinafter. If desired, further purification can be attained through recrystallization from benzene or toluene.
