Synthesis of Vinyl Esters of Fruit Acids under High Pressure

This article describes a method for the synthesis of vinyl esters from fruit acids: malic, tartaric, citric and acetylene, as well as the results of a spectrophotometric analysis of the obtained compounds. Process conditions, product yields, and physicochemical properties of the resulting vinyl esters are given. The homogeneous catalytic reaction of vinylation of malic, tartaric and citric acids with acetylene has been studied and the formation of the corresponding vinyl esters has been proven. The mechanisms of vinylation reactions in the presence of acetylene are proposed. In the synthesis of vinyl ethers, the effect of pressure, temperature, and reaction time on the product yield was established.
