Abstract
An alkane-containing stream is reacted to produce an alkene, which is carbonylated to produce an alkyl alkanoate, e.g., methyl propanoate, by a gas phase process comprising the step of contacting under carbonylation conditions the alkene, e.g., ethylene, carbon monoxide, an alkanol, e.g., methanol, and a solid sulfide-based metal catalyst.
