A method of preparing aromatics processing catalysts which comprises incorporating a noble metal with a member or members of a useful class of zeolites, with such incorporation occurring after zeolite crystallization, but prior to final catalyst particle formation, i.e. extrusion into particles. Said useful class of zeolites is characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a Constraint Index in the approximate range of 1 to 12.

Aromatics processing

A single particle catalyst composition prepared by forming a homogeneous mixture containing iron, a hydrogel matrix and a crystalline acidic aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica-to-alumina ratio of at least 12, a pore size greater than about 5 angstrom units, and a contraint index of about 1 to 12.

A carbonylation process is provided for conversion of olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbons to a mixture of esters or acids with a high ratio of iso:normal ester or acid by reaction with carbon monoxide and a hydroxylic compound, said process being carried out in the absence of added hydrogen or oxygen and in the presence of a palladium salt complexed with an arsine or stibine ligand as catalyst; 2-10 additional moles of arsine or stibine ligand per mole of catalyst may be present in said process to further enhance the ratio of iso:normal product and to promote catalyst stability. The catalyst, for example, may be palladium dichloride bis(triphenylarsine) or palladium dichloride bis(tri-p-tolyl arsine).
