Reaction Steps

A cesium phosphotungstate catalyst is prepared according to the procedure of Example 1. A Parr pressure reactor is charged with 2.05 g of Cs2.5 H0.5 PW12O40, 32.24 g of acrylonitrile plus 30 ppm MEHQ, 13.54 g of 2,4,4 trimethyl-1-pentene, 3.27 g of distilled H2O, and 0.025 g of MEHQ. The reactor is sealed with air in the head space. The contents are heated to 120° C. for 12 hours, developing a pressure of 50 psig. Upon cooling the contents are diluted with toluene and centrifuged to separate the solids. The liquid organic phase is reduced to constant weight on a rotary evaporator with heating up to 45° C. to isolate 2.07 g of 2,4,4-trimethylpentylacrylamide.
