production process for ethyl acetate through certification of methyl acetate.

摘要

A process for producing ethyl acetate by reacting methyl acetate with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at a temperature of between 150 DEG and 250 DEG C and at a pressure of between 50 and 200 atm., in the presence of a neutral or ionic catalyst of formula Ru(CO)xLyOz, in which L is a nitrogenated heterocyclic or alicyclic base or a phosphorated compound, x is a whole number between 1 and 3, y is 1 or 2, and z is 2 or 3.
