Abstract
A process for the transvinylation of a vinyl derivative of a Bronsted acid with a different Bronsted acid which comprises providing a liquid phase mixture containing said vinyl derivative and said Bronsted acid in the presence of a ruthenium compound at a temperature at which transvinylation occurs and recovering as a product of transvinylation the vinyl derivative of the different Bronsted acid. The process is most favorably employed using carboxylic acids to make vinyl esters of carboxylic acids.

A process for the transvinylation of a vinyl derivative of an organic Bronsted acid with a different organic Bronsted acid which comprises providing a liquid phase mixture containing said vinyl derivative and said organic Bronsted acid in the presence of a ruthenium compound selected from the group consisting of ruthenium carbonyl, ruthenium carboxylate, and ruthenium carbonylcarboxylate compounds at a temperature at which transvinylation occurs and recovering as a product of transvinylation the vinyl derivative of the different organic Bronsted acid.
