Reaction Steps

A 300-ml Fisher-Porter bottle was charged with 61.2 g (0.60 mol) of acetic anhydride, 0.3 g of a 5% palladium-on-carbon catalyst, and 0.8 g of acetyl chloride. The bottle was pressurized to 80-95 psig with hydrogen. After 4 hours at 90° C., a gas chromatographic analysis showed 18% conversion, with about equal amounts of ethylidene diacetate and acetic acid formed.
