Systematic names include '''1-acetoxyethylene''' and '''acetic acid ethenyl ester'''. The usual method of preparation is by reaction of Ethylene and Acetic Acid with Oxygen and a Palladium catalyst. It can be polymerized, either by itself to make Polyvinyl Acetate or with other Monomer s to prepare Copolymers such as Ethylene-vinyl Acetate . EXTERNAL LINKS
