Hydroquinone → Acetic acid, hydroxy((1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino)-, butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example I is again followed using the following charge: butyl glyoxylate hemiacetal 315 parts (1.5 moles), acrylamide 110 parts (1.5 moles), methyl ether of hydroquinone 400 parts per million and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid 200 parts per million. The reaction is run for 3 hours at 60°-65° C. and then by-product butanol is stripped under vacuum. The material is not isolated, instead it is used directly to make butyl acrylamidoglycolate butyl ether.
