Vinyl acetate monomer is prepared by the reaction of acetaldehyde and acetic-anhydride. The catalyst employed is:
Correct answer: A. FeCl3
- A. FeCl3
- B. Al2O3
- C. V2O5
- D. Cr2O3
Explanation
The industrial synthesis of vinyl acetate involves the reaction of ethylene, acetic acid, and oxygen over a palladium catalyst. Palladium(II) chloride is a key component of the catalyst system for this reaction.
