Claims
- 1. Pure anhydrous crystallized acrylamidoglycolic acid.
- 2. Method of preparing pure anhydrous crystallized acrylamidoglycolic acid by reacting acrylamide with glyoxylic acid in an aqueous solution at a concentration equal to or higher than 60% and at a temperature of between 30.degree. C. and 80.degree. C., wherein said reaction is carried out at a pH of less than 7 in the absence of a catalyst of any type whatsoever.
- 3. Method according to claim 2, carried out in the presence of an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, tetrahydrofuran, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether.
- 4. A method of preparing pure anhydrous crystallized acrylamidoglycolic acid, comprising:
- reacting glycolic acid in an aqueous solution at a concentration of at least 60% with acrylamide in a reaction medium at a temperature between 30.degree. C. and 80.degree. C. and a pH of less than 7 in the absence of a catalyst of any type whatsoever.
- 5. A method according to claim 4 wherein said reaction medium comprises an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, tetrahydrofuran, and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether.
