Procedure

The tube, catalyst and general procedure described in Example I were employed, with 57.0 g of crotyl acetate substituted for the allyl acetate. The effluent in this case was composed of 12.5 g of unconverted crotyl acetate (22% recovery), 24.7 g of crotyl alcohol (88% yield based on 78% conversion), 24.5 g of methyl acetate (85% yield) and the excess methanol.
