1,3-dialkyl-2-imidazolidinones are made by a process involving a direct one-step reaction from industrially available alkylene carbonate, N-alkylethanolamine or 1,2-diol; the process can minimize formation of solid material and can be readily conducted in a large-scale industrial production with high yield and few byproducts. The process is characterized in that alkylene carbonate, N-alkylethanolamine or 1,2-diol is reacted with monoalkylamine and carbon dioxide, alkylcarbamate alkylamine salt, and/or 1,3-dialkyurea, by heating them at 50°C or higher in a reactor whose area in contact with at least part of the reactants and/or products is made of a metal comprising titanium or zirconium and/or an oxide thereof, or an inorganic glass.
1,3-二烷基-2-咪唑烷酮是由工业上可获得的碳酸亚烷基酯、N-烷基乙醇胺或 1,2-二醇直接一步反应制得的;该工艺可最大限度地减少固体物质的形成,并易于进行大规模工业生产,产量高,副产品少。该工艺的特点是:碳酸亚烷基酯、N-烷基乙醇胺或 1,2-二醇与单烷基胺和二氧化碳、烷基氨基甲酸酯烷基胺盐和/或 1,3-二基脲在 50°C 或更高温度下在反应器中加热反应,反应器与至少部分反应物和/或产物接触的区域由钛或锆和/或其氧化物组成的金属或无机玻璃制成。
