Title: Process for the preparation of N-(.alpha.-alkoxyethyl)-carboxylic acid amides

Abstract: N-(.alpha.-alkoxyethyl)-carboxylic acid amides of the ##EQU1## where R.sup.1 is H or lower alkyl and R.sup.2 is lower alkyl, are prepared by anodic alkoxylation of a N-acyl-.alpha.-aminopropionic acid neutralized at a rate of from 3 to 50 mole % with an alcohol R.sup.2 OH. The compounds are valuable intermediate products for the preparation of N-vinylcarboxylic acid amides which may be converted to water-soluble polymers having multiple technological properties.
