Conclusions

  1. 1.

    It was found that the activity and selectivity of halides of rhodium, ruthenium, and palladium for carbonylation of methyl acetate to acetic anhydride vary according to the series: RhCl3>RuCl3>PdCl2.

  2. 2.

    The optimum conditions for synthesis of acetic anhydride by carbonylation of methyl acetate have been found.

  3. 3.

    A reaction mechanism has been proposed for the carbonylation of methyl acetate with formation of acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalytic system consisting of rhodium(III) chloride, zinc acetate, and methyl iodide.
