Synthesis of N-vinyl pyrrolidone by acetylene process in a microreactor
Vinylation reaction of 2-pyrrolidone with acetylene to synthesize N-vinyl pyrrolidone was successfully implemented in a microreactor. The application of microreactor not only avoided the safety issue caused by acetylene decomposition and explosion, but also intensified gas-liquid mass transfer and i...

The catalyst and reaction performance of vinylation reaction were investigated in detail.
