A method of producing an α,β-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid ester exemplified by an α-hydromuconic acid ester from a carboxylic acid ester exemplified by a 3-hydroxyadipic acid ester or a 3-hydroxyadipic acid-3,6-lactone ester, in which the selectivity for the α,β-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid ester can be increased by subjecting the carboxylic acid ester to a basic condition of pH 8.5 to less than 13 in an organic solvent or a mixed solvent of an organic solvent and water.
一种制备α,β-不饱和二
羧酸酯的方法,以α-羟基须二酸酯为例,从
羧酸酯(例如
3-羟基己二酸酯或
3-羟基己二酸-3,6-内酯酯)制备而来。在有机溶剂或有机溶剂和
水的混合溶剂中,将
羧酸酯置于pH 8.5至小于13的碱性条件下,可以提高α,β-不饱和二
羧酸酯的选择性。
