The invention relates to a process for production of at least one C 4 oxidation product, comprising the steps: a) providing a feed composition comprising at least two feed compounds selected from tert -butyl alcohol, methyl tert -butyl ether and isobutylene; b) subjecting the feed composition to a catalytic reaction zone comprising at least one oxidation stage and obtaining a reaction phase comprising the C 4 oxidation product, to a C 4 oxidation product obtainable therefrom, to an apparatus for production of at least one C 4 oxidation product, a process carried out in the apparatus,to a methacrylic acid, to a polymer comprising methacrylic acid and process for production thereof, to methyl methacrylate and a process for production thereof, to a methacrylate ester and a process for production thereof, to a polymer comprising at least one of methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate and a methacrylate ester and a process for production thereof, to a composition comprising at least one of methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, a methacrylate ester and a polymer comprising at least one of methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate and a methacrylate ester, to chemical products, and to the use of at least one of methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, a methacrylate ester, a polymer comprising at least one of methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate and a methacrylate ester and a composition comprising at least one of these in chemical products.
