Reaction Steps

76.5 g (1 mole) of allyl chloride is reacted as in Example 1, at 60° C., 1.8 atmospheres of CO pressure, and a pH of 10.2, in the presence of 5 ml of Ni(CO)4, but in 200 g of methyl glycol containing 0.16 wt.-% of H2O, with 1.1 moles of sodium methyl glycolate in a 28.5 wt.-% solution in methyl glycol containing 0.35 wt.-% of NaOH, over a period of 4 hours. At a Cl' transformation of 84.2%, 91 g of crotonic acid-2-methoxyethylester (yield 75%) and 19.5 g of vinyl acetic acid-2-methoxy-ethylester (yield 16%) are obtained by gas chromatography (Hewlett-Packard, DC 200 silicone oil column, length 4 m).
