Abstract

Abstract An improved process for oxacylating olefins in the gaseous phase which comprises using a supported catalyst comprising palladium and a carrier having a total pore volume of from 0.4 to 1.2 ml/g, less than 10% of the total pore volume being attributable to micropores having a diameter of less than 30 A. Catalysts of this type are much more efficient than conventional catalysts.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 137 words
In a process for oxacylating olefins in the gaseous phase wherein an olefin selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene and isobutylene is reacted with oxygen and a saturated aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acid having not more than 10 carbon atoms in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of palladium or palladium salts and an additive selected from the group consisting of gold, gold salts, cadmium, cadmium salts, bismuth, bismuth salts, alkaline earth metal salts and alkali metal salts, supported on a porous silicic acid carrier, the improvement which comprises: using a silicic acid support for said catalyst having a total pore volume of from 0.4 to 1.2 ml/g wherein the total pore volume attributable to pores having a diameter less than 30 A is less than 10% of the total pore volume.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 137 words
