Mode opératoire

In still another approach, an admixture of BF3 /methanol/methyl isobutyrate in a molar ratio of 1:1:0.5 was introduced to the top of a countercurrent stripping column while nitrogen was passed through the bottom of the column under atmospheric pressure at a temperature of 80° C. The effort to preferentially strip the BF3 was unsuccessful. Analysis showed that no BF3 was removed by this technique. Methyl propionate is produced from ethylene and BF3.CH3OH.
