Abstract. In this work mono- and divinyl esters of adipic acid with using of homogennocatalytical vinylation by acetylene of adipic acid in solution of dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of zinc acetate as catalyst (10% by mass of adipic acid) and AlCl3•6H2O (10% by mass zinc acetate ) in the temperature range of 80-130 °C have been synthesised. The synthesis of divinyl ester of adipic acid has also been studied using vinyl acetate. The influence of the nature of the catalyst and temperature on the yield of the product was studied. The structure of the synthesized mono- and divinyl esters of adipic acid were confirmed by FT-IR, 1H_NMR, LC/MS and 13C-NMR spectral analysis and some their physical constants were determined.
