ResumoAbstract Labelling with deuterium has shown that in the conversion of vinyl chloride into vinyl acetate by sodium acetate in glacial acetic acid at 60‐70°C in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium chloride, (i) the acetate enters at the chlorine‐carrying carbon atom and(ii) the geometric configuration of the vinyl chloride is lost in the vinyl acetate produced. An addition‐elimination mechanism is proposed.
