Abstract
A carboxylic acid is transvinylated with vinyl ester to give a vinyl ester product and the corresponding acid of the vinyl ester in the presence of a catalyst, at a temperature of 100° C. to 170° C. and a pressure of 2 bar abs. to 15 bar abs., wherein the vinyl ester, the carboxylic acid and the catalyst are supplied to a reactor, the transvinylation reaction is conducted, and, on the completion of the transvinylation, the vinyl ester product is separated from the reaction mixture by distillation, characterized in that the reaction mixture is decompressed in a decompression vessel, the gaseous phase obtained is condensed and recycled into the reactor without further purification, and the liquid phase obtained is freed of vinyl ester and corresponding acid with a first distillation, and the vinyl ester product is separated from the reaction mixture in a further distillation step.
