Abstract:
Provided herein are reactor systems and processes for producing organic acids directly from beta-lactones. Such reactor systems and processes involve the use of a heterogeneous catalyst, such as a zeolite at vapor phase conditions. The reactor systems and processes may use a fixed bed, moving bed or fluidized contacting zone as reactor configurations.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for producing at least one organic acid product directly from at least one beta-lactone reagent, wherein the at least one beta-lactone reagent is represented by the following formula: wherein R 1  and R 2  are independently selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl and cycloalkynyl, wherein both of R 1  and R 2  are not H at the same time, comprising the steps: introducing at least one beta-lactone reagent to at least one reaction vessel; contacting the at least one beta-lactone reagent with at least one heterogenous catalyst in the at least one reaction vessel to produce at least one organic acid; and removing the at least one organic acid from the at least one reaction vessel to provide at least one organic acid product.
