The present invention relates to a catalyst, a process for preparing the catalyst and a process for using the catalyst to produce ethylidene diacetate. The conventional preparation methods of ethylidene diacetate suffer from difficulty in separating the catalyst from the product after completion of the reaction. The catalyst of the present invention is simply separated from the product by mere filtration following the completion of reaction. This is a result of using a heterogenized catalyst which is obtained by supporting a homogeneous catalyst in an inorganic carder. The catalyst of the present invention is of the general formula MaX where M is a compound of a group VIII transition metal, most preferably RhCl3xxH2O, and X is an inorganic carrier, preferably selected from the group consisting of kieselguhr, gamma -alumina, silica, TiO2, MgO, ZnO and activated charcoal. Ethylidene diacetate produced using the present method is useful as an intermediate for producing precision chemical articles or as a starting material for the production of vinyl acetate monomer.
