Abstract:
1. A vapor phase process for producing allyl acetate through oxacylation of propylene, acetic acid and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst with the condition that water is prevented from being added into reactant material for the oxacylation process, wherein the catalyst consists essentially of a porous carrier, 0.1 to 5.0 weight % of palladium metal as a main catalyst, 0 to 1.0 weight % of gold metal, and 0.01 to 5.0 weight % of tin metal as a promoter, based on the weight of said porous carrier, in combination with an alkali metal compound, supported on die outer surface of said porous carrier having a surface area of from about 100 to 120 m 2 /g, and the total content of gold metal and tin metal based on the weight of said porous carrier is in the range of 0.01 to 5.0 weight %.
