The thus obtained reaction effluent is then taken up in a suitable organic solvent or solvent mixture which has a boiling point at least 30° C. higher than MA at atmospheric pressure. This solvent (absorbent) is brought to a temperature between 20 and 160° C., preferably between 30 and ...
(14g/l00g) favours a clean work-up, eliminating the use of organic solvents to extract the reaction products and thus, rendering its use attractive for industrial processes; c) simple distillation, without needing to use dangerous drying agents, is enough to obtain a dry solvent for ...
