Procedure

The tube described in Example I was charged with 79.1 grams of "magnesia" catalyst (3/16 in. pills, manufactured by Dart Industries) containing about 45% magnesium hydroxide and 4% manganese oxide in addition to the magnesium oxide (50%), and operated with the same conditions and procedure as in Example I. Analysis of the effluent in this case showed the presence of 3.8 g of unconverted allyl acetate (8% recovery), 24.9 g of allyl alcohol (90% yield based on 92% conversion), 30.7 g of methyl acetate (90% yield) and the excess methanol.
