Abstract
The vinyl interchange reaction of methyl vinyl ether and methanol, methanol-d4, or ethanol catalyzed by mercuric acetate has been studied. Some organomercuric compounds have been isolated from the reaction mixture, and their catalytic activity for the interchange reaction has been examined. From these results, the mechanism proposed by Watanabe and Conlon (J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 79, 2828 (1957)) has been confirmed and further details of the reaction mechanism are discussed.Keywords
