Multiphase telomerisation of butadiene with acetic acid and acetic anhydride

Two different routes to acetoxyoctadiene are presented. The first one uses the well-known telomerisation of butadiene with acetic acid operating in a multiphase semi-batch mode. The second reaction involves the cleavage of acetic anhydride, hydrogen transfer via ketene formation and thus a telomerisation as well.
