Procedure

U.S. Pat. No. 3,102,905 describes a process for producing t-butyl acetate by the reaction of isobutylene and acetic acid in the presence of an organic sulfonic acid in the liquid phase. The crude product is then purified by means of distillation to give t-butyl acetate free of isobutylene.
