A process for preparing a catalyst which process comprises the steps of:
- (a) introducing a Group 8 metal compound onto a carrier,
- (b) converting a first portion of the Group 8 metal compound on the
carrier into metallic species in a liquid phase reaction, and
- (c) subsequently converting a further portion of the Group 8 metal compound
on the carrier into metallic species in a gas phase reaction; a catalyst which
is obtainable by this process; and a process for preparing an alkenyl carboxylate
comprising reacting a mixture comprising an olefin, a carboxylic acid and oxygen
in the presence of the catalyst.
