Acetic Acid → Diacetoxy-butene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Butadiene, acetic acid, air and N2 were passed at rates of 100 l./hr, 200 l./hr, 150 l./hr and 550 l./hr, respectively, by using the same catalyst as in Example 1. That is, the reaction was performed under the same conditions as in Example 1, except that air is oxygen source was used. As a result, diacetoxybutene was obtained at a space time yield of 0.73 mol/l.cat·hr and CO2 at a space time yield of 0.049 mol/l.cat·hr.
