Procedure
2 g of niobium-V-chloride and 2 g of copper-II-chloride, after solution in 500 ml of glacial acetic acid and 50 ml of acetic acid anhydride, are combined with oxygen and propylene as in the earlier Examples and heated to 150° C. Working up of the reaction solution gave 26.3 g of propylene glycol diacetate.
