METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROXYALKYL(METH)ACRYLIC ACID ESTER

摘要

Provided is a method whereby a hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylic acid ester can be efficiently produced without requiring any troublesome purification step. A method for producing a hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylic acid ester characterized by comprising (meth)acrylating a vinyl ether-containing alcohol by the ester exchange method to give a vinyl ether-containing (meth)acrylic acid ester and then conducting a devinylation reaction in the presence of an acid catalyst together with water.
