38. Under our reaction conditions, crotonate reacted to form only acrylate, and no further reaction of acrylate was observed.
39. The boiling points of the starting material and the more volatile product of this reaction at atmospheric pressure are sufficiently different (>30 K) to allow efficient distillative separation: ethyl crotonate (142 °C), ethyl acrylate (100 °C), n-butyl crotonate (180 °C) and n-butyl acrylate (145 °C).
40. Since ethylene was present in excess in these reactions, its "effective concentration" (fugacity) did not change.
