Abstract

PURPOSE:To prepare the titled compound useful as a raw material of extraction solvent, etc., economically, with little production of high-boiling components, by thermally decomposing 3,3-oxabispropionitrile in the presence of a weakly basic catalyst. CONSTITUTION:The objective compound can be prepared by the thermal decomposition of 3,3-oxabispropionitrile at 120-200 deg.C in the presence of a weakly basic catalyst such as sodium acetate. The amount of the weakly basic catalyst is usually 0.1-10% based on the 3,3-oxabispropionitrile. When the thermal decomposition is carried out by heating under reduced pressure, the produced acrylonitrile and ethylene cyanohydrin are distilled out to enable the continuous preparation of the objective compound.

As a production method that does not use cyano compounds, the hydration method of acrylonitrile (US Pat.

3.3-Oxabispropionitrile is thermally stable under neutral or weakly acidic conditions and can be purified by distillation without decomposition.On the other hand, when heated in the presence of a strong base, it decomposes to form acrylonitrile. It was found that water and a large amount of intermediates were produced.

Thermal decomposition is performed by heating after or while removing.

As for the method of thermal decomposition, a reduced pressure decomposition distillation method is shown in the examples. In this way, heating under reduced pressure and performing thermal decomposition while distilling out the acrylonitrile and ethylene cyanohydrin produced produces fewer high-boiling components (it is advantageous).If necessary, known reaction techniques such as continuous thermal decomposition can be applied. Of course it is possible.
