Abstract: A process can be used for producing methacrylic acid or a methacrylic acid ester. The process involves producing acrolein, reacting the produced acrolein with hydrogen to produce propanal, reacting the propanal with formaldehyde to produce methacrolein, and oxidizing the methacrolein in the presence of an oxygen containing gas and optionally an alcohol, to obtain methacrylic acid or methacrylic acid ester.

Abstract: A process prepares glycerol carbonate (meth)acrylate by transesterification of methyl (meth)acrylate with glycerol carbonate, in the presence of a zirconium acetylacetonate catalyst. The catalyst is pretreated with 2% by weight to 25% by weight of water, based on the amount of catalyst.

Abstract: A process for preparing methyl methacrylate by direct oxidative esterification of methacrolein has elevated yields compared to known processes. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is used in large amounts for preparing polymers and copolymers with other polymerizable compounds. In addition, methyl methacrylate is an important synthesis unit for a variety of specialty esters based on methacrylic acid (MAA), which can be produced by transesterification with the appropriate alcohol. There is consequently a great interest in very simple, economic, and environmentally friendly processes for preparing methyl methacrylate. A superior workup of the reactor output from the oxidative esterification of methacrolein allows specific by-products to be isolated and then additionally converted to alkyl methacrylates, especially to MMA.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for oxidative esterification, generally for reaction of aldehydes with alcohols in the presence of oxygenous gases directly to give the corresponding ester in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, by means of which, for example, (meth)acrolein can be converted to methyl (meth)acrylate. The new catalyst has titanium dioxide as the main component of the support material. The catalysts are especially notable for high mechanical and chemical stability and for good catalytic performance even over very long periods. The process is an improvement in the catalyst service life, activity and selectivity over prior art catalysts which lose activity and/or selectivity relatively quickly in continuous operation in media having even a small water content.
