Procedure

The reaction was performed for two hours by adding 172.2 g (2.0 moles) of methyl acrylate in the apparatus of Example 1 instead of the methyl methacrylate. The results of the experiment were 98.4% conversion of n-butanol and 97.6% yield of n-butyl acrylate. When this ester was distilled in the same manner as in Example 1, it was recovered in a 96.6% yield.
