Acetic acid may also be produced by reacting a mixture of n-butenes with acetic acid over an ion exchange resin. The formed sec-butyl acetate is then oxidized to yield three moles of acetic acid ... 

The reaction scheme is rather complex also in the case of the oxidation of o-xylene (41a, 87a), of the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butenes over bismuth-molybdenum catalyst (87b), or of ethylbenzene on aluminum oxide catalysts (87c), in the hydrogenolysis of glucose (87d) over Ni-kieselguhr or of n-butane on a nickel on silica catalyst (87e), and in the hydrogenation of succinimide in isopropyl alcohol on Ni-Al2Oa catalyst (87f) or of acetophenone on Rh-Al203 catalyst (87g). Decomposition of n-and sec-butyl acetates on synthetic zeolites accompanied by the isomerization of the formed butenes has also been the subject of a kinetic study (87h). 

In the absence of considerations mentioned below, orientation is statistical and is determined by the number of p hydrogens available (therefore Hofmann s rule is followed). For example, sec-butyl acetate gives 55-62% 1-butene and 38-45% 2-butene, which is close to the 3 2 distribution predicted by the number of hydrogens available. ...
