Abstract: Lab. exptl. app. for the synthesis of vinyl acetate (I) from C₂H₂ and AcOH on Zn acetate (II) as catalyst in gaseous phase was described. On the basis of exptl. results the kinetic equation for the synthesis of I was detd. For 2 different catalysts the activation energy and the action constant in the Arrhenius equation were calcd. The reaction temp. of 190° was found to be optimum for the synthesis. II with the active C Dezorex FB-5 was more active than with active C Bensorbon S. The optimum mole ratio of C₂H₂-AcOH to concn. of II and time-vol. yields was studied.
