Procedure

A reaction for producing methyl acrylate (MA) was conducted in substantially the same manner as described in Example 88, except that the catalyst obtained in Example 86 was used and that acrolein was used instead of the methacrolein. Analysis was made with respect to the reaction mixture which was withdrawn from the outlet of the reactor 10 hours after the start of the reaction. As a result, it was found that the conversion of acrolein was 58.4%, the selectivity for MA was 92.4%, and the selectivity for ethylene as a by-product was 1.0%, and that methyl formate was by-produced in an amount of 0.042 mol/mol of MA.
