This invention pertains to the carbonylationof aliphatic alcohols and in particular to promoted manganese catalysts therefor.
A variety of transition metal complexes are known to catalyze halide promoted carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid. These systems require severe reaction conditions and/or the use of expensive metal catalysts in order ~o provide commercially economical processes. For example, a process is des-cribed in U.S. 4,102,920 for the carbonylation of alcohols among other substrates in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a Group VIII metal component and a halogen component with a polydentate chelating phos-phorus or arsenic ligand.
It is an ob;ect of this invention to provide an inexpensive catalyst system which permits the carbony-lation of saturated aliphatic alcohols at low tempera-tures, that is, below about 200C. in order to minimize corrosion.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an inexpensive catalyst system for the carbony-lation of saturated aliphatic alcohols which can be operated at low pressures, that is, below about 2000 psia in order to min~ize equipment cost.
It is another object of this invention to provide a catalyst system which provides primarily aliphatic acids from the corresponding alcohols, but which also provides esters or anhydrides by controlling

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A catalyst system for the carbonylation of saturated aliphatic alcohols has been found meeting the above objects which comprises a compound of manganesei which is soluble in the reaction mixture and a promoter selected from the group consisting of iodine and an alkyl iodide wherein the alkyl moieties of the iodide contain 1 to about 6 carbon atoms. This catalyst can be used withbest results at a temperature ~rom about 100C.
to about 180Co in a conventional carbonylation process wherein a saturated aliphatic alcohol having the formula ROH, where R is alkyl having values of 1 to about 18, is contacted with carbon monoxide or a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen at supra atmospheric pressures below about 2000 psi.
A preferred pressure range is about 500 psi to about 2000 pæi.
A preferred temperature range is about 120C.
to about 150C.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A general procedure for utilizing the carbony-lation çatalyst of this invention is described below.
A 500 cc high-pressure reactor equipped with a glass liner is charged with a solution composed of a catalytic amount of manganese compound dissolved in a known amount acetic acid and/or methanol together with r 3 ~
~S7~38 12,310 a controlled amount of a halide promoter and optionally an inert diluent for use in subsequent analytical work as an internal standard. The system is purged and then placed under a prescribed pressure of carbon monoxide or a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, heated to the desired temperature and agitated by means of rocking. Upon completion of each experiment which may vary in time from about 15 minutes to about 12 hours, the system is cooled, vented, and the contents of the reactor isolated for spectral infrared or nuclear magnetic resonance analysis as well as for vapor phase chromatographic analysis.
The actual form of the manganese catalyst pre-cursor used in this invention is not critical since man-ganese in a variety of oxidation states provides the re-quired catalytic activity. Thus, for example, one may use manganese in the -1 valence state as, for example, in NaMn(C0)5, manganese in the zero valence state as found in compounds, such as, Mn2C010, manganese in the +1 valence state as found in compounds, such as, IMn(C0)5, or manganese in the +2 valence state as found in such compounds as Mn(OAc)2 . 4 ~ 0. These systems are extremely complicated and abstruse because of the various complexes which can form in reaction media. This is reflected in the speed with which reaction is initiated which appears to lie between the extremes of immediate gas uptake indicating immediate activity of the catalyst as soon as the proper reaction conditions of temperature and pressure have been reached and evidence of a delayed 4.

- 12,310 ~L~57~38 activity indicating an induction period in order to allow formation of certain reactive species or complexes.
While the ratio of manganese to promoter is not narrowly critical, a ratio of promoter:manganese catalyst of about 5 to about 7 is preferred.
The carbonylation react~on using this ca~alyst system can be practised either as a batch process or a continuous process.
While commercial interest center mainly in the use of this catalyst system for the carbonylation of methanol, it is equally applicable to higher alcohols ranging from ethanol to octadecanol Furthermore, by appropriate control of the composition of the reaction solvent, that is, by con-trolling the amount of water, methanol, acetic acid~
acetone, etc., one may selectively favor the formation from methanol in this carbonylation reaction of acetic acid, methyl acetate or acetic anhydride permitting the scope of the reaction to produce a variety of industrially important chemicals.
The form in which the iodine promoter i9 added to the mRnganese catalyst is not critical. Thus, for example, one may use elemental iodine, hydriodic acid, alkyl iodides wherein the alkyl group contains 1 to abo~t 6 carbon atoms as for example, methyl iodide, ethyl iodide, propyl iodide, butyl iodide, pentyl iodide, hexyl iodide, and the likeO

It was demonstrated in the carbonylation of methanol that the rates of methanol carbonylation and catalyst deacti.vation are both dependent on the ratio of iodine to manganese. In a series of runs delineated in Table I, it was demonstrated that for a given level of manganese catalyst increasing the amount of iodide pro-moter will increase both carbonylation and deactivation until an iodine to manganese ratio of 8:1 is reached.
At this point an increase in the iodide promoter level preferentially accelerates deactivation of the catalyst.
