CATALYTIC COMPOSITION FOR CARBONYLATION INCLUDING IRIDIUM AND PYRIDINE POLYMERS

An improvement to methanol carbonylation processes utilizing a homogeneous iridium catalyst system comprises adding a rate-promoting amount of an insoluble pyridine ring-containing polymer. Typically, polyvinylpyridine as added to the reactor in amounts of up to about 2 weight percent.
