Procedure

The tandem tube reactors are operated as in Example 1, with substitution of 740 grams per hour of pure methyl acetate for the methyl acetate-methanol azeotrope. Analysis of the condensed phases indicates the collection per hour of 254 grams of methyl acetate (34% unconverted), 607 grams of allyl acetate (92% yield based on 66% conversion) and 191 grams of methanol (90% yield).
