Abstract

A process for the production of a carboxylic acid by carbonylation of an alkyl alcohol or its reactive derivative comprises contacting the reactant with carbon monoxide in a liquid reaction composition comprising: (a) an iridium catalyst or rhodium catalyst, (b) alkyl halide, (c) at least a finite concentration of water and (d) rhenium as promoter.
