Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 17 was repeated except that 4.5 g of ruthenium (5%) supported on activated carbon was used in place of palladium supported on activated carbon. GC analysis showed that vinyl acetate was formed with considerable amount of acetic acid and 15.5 g of ethylidene diacetate.
