Procedure

In a continuous autoclave with a reaction volume of 200 ml, at 110° C. and 40 bar, 16.9 g of propylene, 34.4 g of propane and 116.7 g of acetic acid per hour are reacted in the presence of 15.7 g of “Amberlyst 35 wet” as a catalyst. The effluent stream is decompressed, and the liquid and gaseous phase are analyzed separately by GC. At a propylene conversion of 90%, isopropyl acetate is obtained with a selectivity of over 96%.
