Abstract

A process for the production of N-vinyl a -pyrrolidone comprises subjecting N-b -hydroxyethyl a -pyrrolidone to dehydration. N-b -Hydroxyethyl-a -pyrrolidone is obtained by reacting ethanolamine with g -butyrolactone, with distillation of water from the reaction mixture, suitably at 200 DEG to 250 DEG C., the initial product being N-b -hydroxyethyl-g -hydroxybutyramide. The dehydration, which is preferably carried out in the presence of a dehydrating catalyst, may be carried out in the liquid or vapour phase. In the liquid phase the N-b -hydroxyethyl a -pyrrolidone may be passed downward through a chamber filled with particles of the catalyst heated to 200 DEG to 400 DEG C., preferably 320 DEG to 350 DEG C. Alternatively the N-b -hydroxyethyl a -pyrrolidone may be added to a liquid such as mineral oil, diphenyl or diphenyl oxide which contains suspended finely divided catalyst and is maintained at reaction temperature; the water and N-vinyl a -pyrrolidone are preferably distilled off at 150 to 300 mm. and the process may be operated continuously. Vapour phase dehydration is preferably effected at 250 DEG to 350 DEG C. and at pressures below 100 mm. Basic or neutral catalysts are suitable. Specified are calcium oxide, aluminium oxide, and a mixture of aluminium oxide, iron oxide and potassium hydroxide. Hourly space velocities of 500 to 4000, preferably 2600, in the vapour phase process and of 150 to 300 in the first-mentioned liquid phase process are suitable. In examples N-vinyl-a -pyrrolidone is prepared by (1) passing N-b -hydroxyethyl a -pyrrolidone (the product obtained from the reaction of ethanolamine and g -butyolactone at 200 DEG to 250 DEG C. with distillation of water) downwards over activated alumina particles heated to 270 DEG to 290 DEG C.; (2) passing N-b -hydroxyethyl a -pyrrolidone vapour over activated alumina at 300 DEG to 340 DEG C.; (3) gradually adding N-b -hydroxyethyl a -pyrrolidone to activated alumina particles suspended in white mineral oil heated to 320 DEG to 350 DEG C., with condensation of the evolved vapours; (4) heating ethanolamine and g -butyrolactone at 200 DEG to 250 DEG C. with distillation of water from the mixture, and passing the vaporized residue over activated alumina at 290 DEG to 335 DEG C.
