Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to Example 1, 76.5 g of allyl chloride is reacted over a period of 4 hours, in the presence of 5 ml of Ni(CO)4, at 1.2 at. CO pressure and at a pH of 10.0, at 60° C., in 200 grams of ethyl glycol containing 0.14 wt.-% of H2O, with 1.12 moles of 20.4% sodium ethyl glycolate in ethyl glycol containing 0.31 wt.-% of NaOH. The distillate contains, according to gas chromatographic analysis (Hewlett-Packard, DC 200 silicone oil, length 4 m), 105 g of crotonic acid-2-ethoxyethylester (yield 80%) and 16 g of vinyl acetic acid-2-ethoxyethylester (yield 12%).
