A process for producing N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxylic amides by reacting alcohols of 1-5 carbon atoms with N-vinylcarboxylic amides in the presence of an acidic catalyst, or by utilizing unreacted starting material, unreacted intermediate or unrecovered product for synthesis of N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxylic amides. A process for producing N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxylic amides by adding a water-soluble strong acid during reaction between a carboxylic amide and a starting material containing acetaldehyde and alcohol and/or a starting material containing an acetal, in an amount of 2.times.10.sup.-3 to 3.times.10.sup.-1 equivalents to 1 mole of the carboxylic amide in the starting material, and using a strongly acidic ion-exchange resin as the catalyst.

Process for producing N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxylic amides

A highly polymerizable N-vinylcarboxylic acid amide having an N-1,3-butadienylcarboxylic acid amide content of 30 ppm or less, a process for producing the same, and a process for producing a homopolymer of N-vinylcarboxylic acid amide or a copolymer thereof with another copolymerizable monomer using the same. Also, a highly polymerizable N-vinyl-carboxylic acid amide is produced by thermal cracking or catalytic cracking of N-(1-alkoxyethyl)carboxylic acid amide or ethylidenebiscarboxylic acid amide, wherein the N-vinyl-carboxylic acid amide content of the N-(1-alkoxyethyl)-carboxylic acid amide or ethylenebiscarboxylic acid amide is 10 wt % or less.

A process for producing acetaldehyde dimethylacetal comprising reacting acetaldehyde and methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst is disclosed, in which the reaction is carried out in a part of a rectification tower while conducting rectification to withdraw the water by-produced from the bottom of the tower and to recover a distillate containing the acetaldehyde dimethylacetal produced from the top of the tower. The distillate is subjected to azeotropic distillation in the presence of n-hexane or cyclohexane to separate methanol as an azeotrope with n-hexane or cyclohexane and a small amount of the acetaldehyde dimethylacetal and to recover high purity acetaldehyde dimethylacetal as a bottom.
