Acetic Acid → 3,4-Diacetoxy-1-butene

Participants

Reaction Steps

From the upper part of the reactor, which was the same reactor as used in the acetoxylation process in Example 1 and temperature of heating medium in the jacket was kept at 87° C., were fed butadiene at 1.7 kg/h, acetic acid at 19.1 kg/h and nitrogen gas containing 5 mol % oxygen at 40 Nm3 /h and reacted under the same reaction conditions as in the acetoxylation process in Example 1. As the result, 2100 kg of reaction products of a composition containing 13.10% of 1,4-diacetoxybutene, and 1.15% of 3,4-diacetoxybutene were produced.
