Abstract: The present invention relates to cross-linked polymers absorbing aqueous liquids, which are built up of partially neutralized, mono-ethylenically unsaturated, acid groups-containing monomers, optionally further monomers copolymerizable with these, as well as optional polymers suitable as a graft basis, and that can be produced by using cross-linking agents of polyunsaturated amino alcohols. The used cross-linking agents are reaction products of (meth)allylamines with monoglycidyl compounds, di-, tri- or tetraglycidyl compounds, and optional alkylene oxide; reaction products of (meth)allylamines or saturated primary amines with (meth)acrylglycide esters and/or (meth)allyl glycidyl ethers and optional alkylene oxide; as well as reaction products of di- and polyamides with (meth)allyl glycide esters and/or (meth)acrylglycide esters and optional alkylene oxide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of N-substituted .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acid amides, which proceeds from the .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acid amide that is unsubstituted at the amido nitrogen, which forms the Michael adduct initially by conversion with a polyvalent alcohol having a boiling point of >/=150.degree. C., converts this with a primary or secondary amine with elimination of ammonia to form N-substituted carboxylic acid amide with a protected double bond, the polyvalent alcohol being subsequently eliminated from this product at high temperatures, with formation of the N-substituted .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acid amide.
