Abstract
The present invention provides a catalyst which is an oxide comprising silicon and at least one element selected from the group consisting of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals and which is used for gas-phase intramolecular dehydration of a tertiary N-(2-hydroxyalkyl) carboxylic acid amide to synthesize a tertiary N-alkenyl carboxylic acid amide. This catalyst enables continuous and efficient production of a tertiary N-alkenyl carboxylic acid amide from a tertiary N-(2-hydroxyalkyl) carboxylic acid amide without using any auxiliary raw material, and consequently allows for simple and safe production of a tertiary N-alkenyl carboxylic acid amide without generating any by-product (waste product) derived from the auxiliary raw material.
