Reaction Steps

The tandem tube reactors are operated as described in Example 2, 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 157 grams of methyl acetate (21% unconverted), 705 grams of allyl acetate (89% yield based on 79% conversion), and 227 grams of methanol (90% yield).
