A study has been made to determine the basic conditions to develop an economical manufacturing process for vinyl glycol ethers. To achieve the aforesaid purpose, the synthesis of the above‐mentioned products by means of glycol ether dehydration has been experimentally investigated; the most suitable way to achieve it has been found to be an indirect dehydration (pyrolysis of the corresponding acetates). After having found the best way of synthetizing the vinyl glycol ethers, a determination has been made of the parameters which have a significant influence on the reaction carried out, in the gaseous phase, in a glass tubular reactor under normal pressure. An optimization study has enabled to develop a model from which the maximum response area has been found, selectivity being the objective function.
