Patent ID: 7705175

Claim:
A method for producing an imide ether compound represented by the general formula (4), wherein a nitrile compound represented by the general formula (1), an alcohol represented by the general formula (2), and a hydrogen halide represented by the general formula (3) are continuously introduced into a flow reaction device comprising a mixer and a flow reactor, to be subjected to a reaction: (Formula 1) R 1 CN (1) (wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, or a C1 to C12 hydrocarbon group or aryl group, which may have a substitution group, or may contain an atom other than carbon, in the structure), (Formula 2) R 2 OH (2) (wherein R 2 represents a C1 to C12 hydrocarbon group), (Formula 3) HX (3) (wherein X represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom or an iodine atom), (Formula 4) R 1 C(OR 2 )═NH.HX (4) (wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, or a C1 to C12 hydrocarbon group or aryl group, which may have a substitution group, or may contain an atom other than carbon, in the structure; R 2 represents a C1 to C12 hydrocarbon group; and X represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom or an iodine atom).
