Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into the flask described hereinabove there were placed 1,021.3 g of zirconium tetrabutylate to which 767.5 grams of acrylic acid were added during 8 minutes at room temperature (25° C.). The procedure was as set forth hereinabove. Owing to the reaction heat, the temperature increased to 35° C. The resultant product was a white, solid substance. The rotary evaporator heating then was switched on and gradually heated to 90° C. At the same time the vacuum was gradually adjusted to 20 mbar. The butanol was thereby expelled yielding a white powder.
