[O:1]1[CH2:5][CH:2]1[CH:3]=[CH2:4].[C:6]([O:9]C(=O)C)(=[O:8])[CH3:7].C(N(CC)CC)C.[C:20](O)(=[O:22])[CH3:21]>COCCOCCOC>[C:6]([O:9][CH:2]([CH2:5][O:1][C:20](=[O:22])[CH3:21])[CH:3]=[CH2:4])(=[O:8])[CH3:7]A 300-mL autoclave was charged with 40 mL (0.50 mol) of 3,4-epoxy-1-butene, 56.2 g (0.55 mol) acetic anhydride, 2.0 g (0.02 mol ) of triethylamine, 3.6 g (0.06 mol) acetic acid and 4.2 mL of diglyme. The autoclave was purged with nitrogen twice, then the vessel was pressurized to 8 bars (100 psig) with nitrogen. The agitator was started and an initial sample was taken. Then the mixture was heated to 125° C. During the course of 2.5 hrs, samples were obtained every 15 min for analysis by GC. GC analysis of the crude mixture after 2.5 hrs revealed a 96% yield of 3,4-diacetoxy-1-butene and 1.4% 3,4-epoxy-1-butene. The reaction was observed to be first order in 3,4-epoxy-1-butene with a first order rate constant of 0.037 min-1 (Table A). This example demonstrates the catalytic effect of a tertiary amine with three molar equivalents of acetic acid (Table B).
