There are three main types of acid components in the industrially important vinyl esters of higher carboxylic acid: fatty acids, e. g., stearic or oleic acids; both groups of Koch acids, e. g., the ‘Neo acids’ (Exxon) or the ‘Versatic acids’ (Shell; cJ: Section 6.3); and carboxylic acids obtained by conversion of ‘0x0’ synthesis products, e. g., 2-ethylhexanoic or isononanoic acid (cJ: Section 6.1.4.2), which are synthesized economically from low-cost olefins
