The authors contend that virtually all methods for the production of methacrylic acid esters suffer from the drawbacks of low conversion, dependence on costly catalysts, low feed rates, and the need to use inhibitors in the process. To eliminate these drawbacks, they propose and test a new catalyst, sulfopolyphenyl ketone, which contains an extensive conjugated bond system together with ionic hydroxide groups. The catalytic esterification rate and yield is given for this catalyst and chromatography is performed for the resulting esters.
