ABSTRACT:
A homogeneous catalytic process for the conversion of methanol to methyl acetate. The process comprises contacting CO with methanol in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of an iron-cobalt carbonyl complex of the formula M[FeCo.sub.3 (CO).sub.12 ] or M[CoFe.sub.3 (CO).sub.13 ] where M is hydrogen or a cation and an iodide promoter, heating the resultant mixture at temperatures of from 100.degree. to 250.degree. C. at pressures of from 5 to 100 MPa.
