PRODUCTION OF ALPHA-HYDROXYISOBUTYRAMIDE

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a process for producing alpha-hydroxyisobutyramide capable of greatly improving the service life of a manganese dioxide catalyst on an industrial scale at a low cost. CONSTITUTION:This alpha-hydroxyisobutyramide is produced by reacting acetone cyanohydrin with water in a liquid phase. A manganese dioxide catalyst having partially fluorinated surfaces is used in this process.
