The present invention provides an industrially-preferable method for safely producing N-benzyl-2-bromo-3-methoxypropionamide at a high yield but at low cost. The method for producing of the present invention includes: in sequence, an amidation process that causes diacrylic anhydride to react with benzylamine in a solvent to obtain N-benzylacrylamide; a bromination process that causes N-benzylacrylamide to react with bromine in a solvent to obtain N-benzyl-2,3-dibromopropionamide; and a methoxylation process that causes N-benzyl-2,3-dibromopropionamide to react with methanol in the presence of a base to obtain N-benzyl-2-bromo-3-methoxypropionamide.

The present disclosure provides a bifunctional linker for coupling at least one functional moiety, preferably a bis-allyl propionic acid (BAPA), to a polymer-containing matrix. Also disclosed by the present disclosure are anhydrides of the bifunctional linker, processes for preparing the bifunctional linker and such anhydride, as well as surfaces, such as cellulose containing matrices, coupled with the bifunctional linker, at times, the latter carrying a functional agent.

A method for manufacturing methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride is provided, which includes steps as follows. Maleic anhydride is added into a reactor. Piperylene is added into the reactor, so that the piperylene and the maleic anhydride undergo a first addition reaction. When a conversion rate of the maleic anhydride is more than 25%, the first addition reaction is completed. Isoprene is added into the reactor, so that the isoprene and the maleic anhydride undergo a second addition reaction to obtain a methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride product. The methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride product contains 3-methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride and 4-methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride.
