A process for the production of acetate esters by the catalytic reaction of an alcohol of the formula ROH and carbon monoxide in contact with a homogeneous catalyst system of rhodium metal atom, a phosphorus containing ligand in which there is present at least one oxo (=O) oxygen atom attached to a phosphorus atom or a carbon atom to form a Z group and the and a halogen promoter, under mild reaction conditions, wherein R' is aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl or alkyl, and wherein 1 or more of said R' groups can be substituted with a Z group but not more than 3 of said R' groups in the molecule are so substituted: a is an integer from 0-4; b is an integer from 0-3; and Z is P(O)R'R'; - C(O)OR" or C(O)R", wherein R" is R' or -H; and wherein ROH is methanol or a mixture of methanol and at least one higher alcohol.
group in said Z group is located at least one carbon atom removed and preferably from 2-4 carbon atoms removed from the phosphorus atom of the molecules represented by the formulas
一种通过式 ROH 的醇和一氧化碳与由金属铑原子、含磷配体(其中至少有一个氧原子与磷原子或碳原子相连形成 Z 基团)和卤素促进剂组成的均相催化剂体系接触进行催化反应生产醋酸酯的工艺、在温和的反应条件下,其中 R'为芳基、烷芳基、芳烷基或烷基,且其中 1 个或多个所述 R'基团可被 Z 基团取代,但分子中被如此取代的所述 R'基团不超过 3 个:a 是 0-4 的整数;b 是 0-3 的整数;Z 是 P(O)R'R';- C(O)OR "或 C(O)R",其中 R "是 R'或-H;ROH 是甲醇或甲醇与至少一种高级醇的混合物。
在所述 Z 基团中,至少有一个碳原子与由以下公式表示的分子的磷原子相隔,最好是 2-4 个碳原子与磷原子相隔
