Synthesis of α-methylene-δ-valerolactone and its selective polymerization from a product mixture for concurrent separation and polymer production

We report the continuous, gas-phase synthesis of α-methylene-δ-valerolactone (MVL) from δ-valerolactone (DVL) and formaldehyde (FA) over alkaline earth oxide catalysts. MgO, CaO, and BaO supported on silica (∼5 wt%) were active for MVL production (613 K, 0.4 kPa DVL, 1.2 kPa FA, 101 kPa total pressu...
