<p>An N-(1-hydroxyethyl)carboxamide compound represented by general formula (1), a process for producing the compound, a process for producing an N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxamide compound, a process for producing an N-vinylcarboxamide compound, and a process for producing an N-vinylcarboxamide (co)polymer. By reacting the N-(1-hydroxyethyl)carboxamide compound with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, the N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxamide compound is obtained. The N-vinylcarboxamide compound, which is a monomer for the N-vinylcarboxamide (co)polymer, can be obtained by thermally decomposing or catalytically decomposing the N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxamide compound. (In formula (1), RA and RB each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl, provided that both RA and RB are not hydrogen atoms.)</p> |
