The carbonylation of methylacetate to acetic anhydride catalysed by [Cp [formula omitted]Rh(CO) 2] in the absence of hydrogen
[Cp ∗ Rh(CO) 2] catalyses the carbonylation of methylacetate to acetic anhydride at 6.9 mol dm 3 h −1 in the absence of hydrogen; [Cp ∗ RhI 2(CO)] which forms from it is also catalytically active giving rates of 1.2 mol dm 3 h −1 under the same conditions. ▪
