Zusammenfassung:A process can be used for producing optical molding materials on the basis of methyl methacrylate (MMA). The MMA produced by an optimized method and the molding materials feature in particular a very low yellowness index. This MMA has been produced by direct oxidative esterification of methacrolein. An optimized workup of the reactor output from the oxidative esterification of methacrolein can be used for removing particularly discoloring byproducts. This process moreover has the advantage that fewer demands are placed on plant apparatus configuration.
