VINYLATION OF METHYL ACETATE AND METHYL PROPIONATE WITH METHANOL IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN ON METAL ION-EXCHANGED FORMS OF FLUORO TETRASILICIC MICA

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1989.281

Among metal ion-exchanged forms of fluoro tetrasilicic mica (M-TSM's), Ti(IV)-TSM showed the highest catalytic activity at 350 deg C for the vinylation of esters with methanol in the presence of oxygen.The values of selectivity for the vinylation of methyl acetate to methyl acrylate and that of methyl propionate to methyl methacrylate attained 87 and 64percent, respectively.
