SYNTHESIS OF HYDROXYALKYL AMIDES FROM ESTERS

摘要

Hydroxyamides are synthesized from esters. A process of making hydroxyalkyl amides comprises : reacting an ester with a hydroxyalkyl amine having the formula H2N-R3-OH wherein R3 is a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C5 alkyl, in the presence of a catalyst in an anhydrous solution to form the hydroxyalkyl amides. Monomers suitable for formation of polymeric articles can utilize these hydroxyamides.
