Participants

Reactant 2

HCID 61319Allyl propionate

HCID 85071Allyl isobutyrate

Product 2

HCID 7302Gamma-Butyrolactone

HCID 327433-Butenoic acid

Procedure

The reaction was carried out as described in Example 11, with the exception that 128 grams of allyl isobutyrate were used instead of allyl propionate. 19.1 grams of γ-butyrolactone and 10.6 grams of vinyl acetic acid were obtained.
