Patent number: 10364213Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing ?-hydroxyisobutyric acid amide by hydration of acetone cyanohydrin under the presence of a catalyst composed mainly of manganese oxide using a reactor in which at least two reaction regions are connected in series, the method being characterized by comprising: a step (B) of cyclically supplying at least a portion of a reaction liquid withdrawn from at least one reaction region to a first reaction region (I) in the reactor; and a step (b1) of further cyclically supplying at least a portion of the reaction liquid withdrawn from at least one reaction region to at least one reaction region other than the first reaction region. The method is also characterized in that an oxidizing agent is supplied to at least one reaction region in the reactor.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: MITSUBISHI GAS CHEMICAL COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Atsushi Kakimi, Takako Uchiyama, Hideho Matsuda, Masaki Takemoto, Katsumi Higuchi

Patent number: 8759566Abstract: Provided is a process for producing ?-hydroxycarboxylic esters from ?-hydroxycarboxylic amides and aliphatic alcohols, wherein it is a production process which is inhibited in a production cost and enhanced in a conversion rate and a selectivity and which is industrially advantageous. To be specific, it is a production process for ?-hydroxycarboxylic ester characterized by subjecting ?-hydroxycarboxylic amide and aliphatic alcohol to a gas phase reaction in the presence of a zirconium dioxide catalyst. A catalyst lifetime is improved to a large extent by using a zirconium dioxide catalyst containing a specific element.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.Inventors: Hideho Matsuda, Yuuichi Sugano, Yoshikazu Shima, Masaki Takemoto, Genki Nogami
