Abstract

Acetylene is reacted with organic carboxylic acids to produce vinyl esters, the acetylene being first contacted while under non-explosive conditions with a liquid volatile organic compound maintained at a predetermined temperature, the acetylene being thereby saturated with the vapour of the organic liquid; the ratio of acetylene to vapour is such that the mixture is non-explosive when introduced into the reaction zone (the temperature being high enough to prevent condensation of the vapour), although the temperature and pressure therein are such that the acetylene would normally be explosive. The volatile organic liquid may be the acid used in the reaction, the ester produced, or other compounds such as hydrocarbons, heterocyclic compounds, esters or ethers, suitable compounds being mentioned. A further inert diluent of this type may be used for the reaction if desired. Zinc or cadmium salts of organic acids are used as catalysts, these being formed in situ if desired. Many suitable acids are specified, aliphatic, aromatic, hydroaromatic and heterocyclic; polybasic acids or acid esters, cyclic hydroxy acids and phenyl-glycine may also be used, as well as mixtures of acids or acid esters such as those obtained from resins, from the saponification of fats or oils or from the partial oxidation of petroleum fractions, e.g. paraffin wax. When hydroxy-acids are used, the presence of zinc salts as catalysts favours the production of esters rather than ethers, the latter being formed when using an alkaline catalyst as in Specification 641,436. The vinyl esters produced may be recovered and purified by known methods, and polymerization inhibitors may be added. The esters may be polymerized by the usual methods. Examples show the reaction of acetylene with acetic, valeric and oleic acids. Specifications 182,112, 285,095, 288,707, [all in Class 2 (iii)], 378,873, 572,910, 578,405, 581,501 and U.S.A. Specification 2,066,075 also are referred to.
