Procedure
A solution of 2 g of molybdenum-V-chloride in 450 ml of glacial acetic acid and 50 ml of acetic acid anhydride is saturated with propylene. Then, 20 atmospheres of oxygen are introduced under pressure and the mixture is heated to 150° C. Working up the reaction product by distillation gave 5.6 g of propylene glycol diacetate.
