Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of organic carboxylic acid anhydrides, specifically by the reaction of ethylenically unsaturated compounds having 2 to 30 carbon atoms with carbon monoxide and carboxylic acids or substances which yield carboxylic acids under reaction conditions at a temperature of 50 DEG C to 300 DEG C and a partial pressure of carbon monoxide of from 1 to 200 atm. in the presence of a catalyst composition essentially comprised of 1. A COBALT OR NICKEL COMPOUND, AND 2. AN IODIDE COMPONENT SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS THAT THE ATOMIC RATIO OF IODIDE TO COBALT OR NICKEL IS FROM 1:1 TO 300:
