Abstract
Disclosed is an improved process for the manufacture of aromatic carboxylic acid esters by the carbonylation of aromatic iodides wherein the amount of the corresponding unesterified carboxylic acid in the product obtained from the process is minimized. The process comprises carbonylating an aromatic iodide in the presence of carbon monoxide, a Group VIII metal catalyst, an inorganic adsorbent and an alkanol to co-produce an aromatic carboxylic acid ester and an alkyl iodide.
