Acetic Acid → Diacetoxy-butene

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the invention, a zone in which the reaction product is yielded, e.g., a zone wherein a solid catalyst is present in a liquid phase comprising butadiene and acetic acid, is referred to as a reaction zone. Namely, the reaction zone as a whole is occupied by a liquid phase. An oxygen-containing gas is introduced into the liquid phase of the reaction zone so as to form fine bubbles, whereby diacetoxybutene is yielded.
