Abstract

We report a highly efficient and 100% atom economic synthesis of methyl acrylate and acetic acid via gas phase pyrolysis of methyl 3-acetoxypropionate at 600 °C. The latter can be produced in a single step from methyl levulinate, a side product of Avantium's FDCA process. Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society.
