Abstract
Abstract Process for the preparation of alkenyl esters of carboxylic acids in the gaseous phase from carboxylic acids, olefins and oxygen or oxygen containing gases in the presence of palladium carboxylate catalysts; the carboxylic acid concentration in the feed gas being lower in the starting period of the process than the intended final concentration, and subsequently being increased either continuously or stepwise until the final concentration is attained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
In a process for the preparation of alkenyl esters of carboxylic acids in the gaseous phase by reaction of a carboxylic acid with an olefin and oxygen or oxygen containing gases at elevated temperature and optionally elevated pressure in the presence of a carrier catalyst containing palladium carboxylate and optionally activators, the improvement comprising, continuously or stepwise increasing the carboxylic acid concentration in the feed gas in the starting period of the process at a temperature from 100° to 250° C. until the final concentration is attained; the ratio of initial concentration to final concentration of carboxylic acid being 0.1 to 0.8, and the final concentration being attained after a period of from 1 to 60 hours.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
In a process for the preparation of alkenyl esters of carboxylic acids in the gaseous phase by reaction of a carboxylic acid with an olefin and oxygen or oxygen containing gases at elevated temperature and optionally elevated pressure in the presence of a carrier catalyst containing palladium carboxylate and optionally activators, the improvement comprising, continuously or stepwise increasing the carboxylic acid concentration in the feed gas in the starting period of the process at a temperature from 100° to 250° C. until the final concentration is attained; the ratio of initial concentration to final concentration of carboxylic acid being 0.1 to 0.8, and the final concentration being attained after a period of from 1 to 60 hours.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
