HCID 11039Methyl isobutyrateYield 53.3%

Procedure

The procedure of Example III was repeated except that the feed of methyl isobutyrate; oxygen; nitrogen was in the mole ratio of 13.74:5.75:81.5 and a conversion of 53.3% of methyl isobutyrate was obtained with selectivity of 39.4% to methyl methacrylate and 17.2 to methacrylic acid.
