Process for the preparation of alkyl benzoylacrylates of formula (I) where R = alkyl, in which the reaction is carried out in an acid medium in the same reactor, without isolating the intermediate products, as follows: condensation of acetophenone with glyoxylic acid, elimination of a water/acetophenone mixture, elimination of the excess acetophenone, esterification with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid, addition of a solvent, elimination of a mixture constituted by water, solvent and alcohol, dehydration by azeotropic distillation of the water, neutralization of the strong acid with a basic aqueous solution, decanting and concentration of the organic phase and recovery of the sought final product of formula (I). |
