PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HIGHER CARBOXYLIC ACID VINYL ESTERS

This invention concerns a process for the production of vinyl esters of carboxylic acids with 3 to 20 carbon atoms, via vinylation in the presence of palladium (Pd) catalyst in combination with copper (Cu) as co-catalyst stabilized by organic salts in the presence of ethylene and air or oxygen.

Method for Producing Vinyl Esters

The present invention relates to a continuous, catalytic process for preparing a vinyl ester of the formula R—C(O)O—CH═CH2 by reaction of a carboxylic acid of the formula R—C(O)OH with a transvinylating reagent of the formula R1—C(O)O—CH═CH2, wherein the reaction is effected at a temperature of 90 to 160° C. and at a pressure of 0.5 to 15 MPa without withdrawal of a reactant in the presence of a transition metal catalyst containing at least one transition metal from the group of ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, palladium and platinum, and then the resulting reaction mixture is separated into its constituents.

VINYL ESTER PRODUCTION FROM ACETYLENE AND CARBOXYLIC ACID UTILIZING HETEROGENEOUS CATALYST

A process for the selective production of vinyl ester by the reaction of a carboxylic acid with acetylene under heterogeneous catalytic conditions is disclosed and claimed. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, reaction of benzoic acid and acetylene in the presence of supported platinum catalyst at a temperature of from about 100 to 180°C results in quantitative yields of vinyl benzoate.
