Reaction Steps
A solution consisting of 4.88 g of benzoic acid, 24.8 of vinyl acetate, 0.4 g of potassium acetate, 89.4 mg of copper(II) bromide and 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran was mixed with 1.34 g of the solid catalyst prepared in Example 9. The resulting mixture was heated at 70° C. for 24 hours in the same manner as in Example 9, to form 4.80 g of vinyl benzoate and recover 1.94 g of acetic acid as the byproduct.
