Procedure

Substantially the same procedure for producing MMA as described in Example 64 was repeated, except that the activated catalyst obtained in Example 62 was used, and that acrolein was used instead of the methacrolein. The reaction mixture obtained 10 hours after the start of the reaction was analyzed. As a result, it was found that the conversion of acrolein was 59.3%, the selectivity for methyl acrylate (MA) was 90.1%, and the selectivity for ethylene as a by-product was 1.83%, and that methyl formate was by-produced in an amount of 0.086 mol/mol of MA.
