Abstract Vapor phase carbonylation of methyl acetate on nickel-active carbon catalyst was studied under pressurized conditions in the presence of methyl iodide as a promoter. High pressure was essential for the acetic anhydride formation. A fairly large amount of acetic acid, by-product, was also formed under the water-free reaction condition.
