Abstract
A process for producing allyl acetate is disclosed. The process comprises reacting a feed comprising propylene, acetic acid, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the presence of a supported palladium catalyst. The feed comprises from 2 to 6 mole percent carbon dioxide, which improves the selectivity to allyl acetate.

A process for producing allyl acetate, comprising reacting a feed comprising propylene, acetic acid, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the presence of a supported palladium catalyst, wherein the feed comprises from 2 to 6 mol % carbon dioxide, further wherein the concentration of the carbon dioxide in the feed is controlled at a constant concentration.
A process for producing allyl acetate, comprising reacting a feed comprising propylene, acetic acid, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the presence of a supported palladium catalyst, wherein the feed comprises from 2 to 6 mol % carbon dioxide, further wherein the concentration of the carbon dioxide in the feed is controlled at a constant concentration, wherein the selectivity to allyl acetate is improved when compared to a process wherein less than 2 mol % carbon dioxide is presented in the feed.
A process for producing allyl acetate, comprising reacting a feed comprising propylene, acetic acid, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the presence of a supported palladium catalyst, wherein the feed comprises from 2 to 6 mol % carbon dioxide, further wherein the concentration of the carbon dioxide in the feed is controlled at a constant concentration, wherein the formation of carbon dioxide is suppressed when compared to a process wherein less than 2 mol % carbon dioxide is present in the feed.
