Carbonylation reactions

Communication 22. Synthesis of methyl acetate by carbonylation of methanol with carbon monoxide in presence of Rh-zeolite NaX catalyst at atmospheric pressure

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Methanol, containing 10–20 mole % of CH3I, is carbonylated to methyl acetate in the presence of impregnated Eh-zeolite NaX catalyst at 230–250° and atmospheric pressure.

  2. 2.

    The specific (per gram of Rh) rate of methyl acetate formation is antibatic to the Rh content in the catalyst, it increases with increase in the methanol contact time, and shows little change in the range 230–250°.

  3. 3.

    The rate of forming the sole secondary product, namely dimethyl ether, decreases with increase in the amount of Rh and the methanol contact time.

  4. 4.

    CH2I is an astoichiometric component of the reaction.
