Methanol carbonylation is currently used to produce acetic acid with Rh and Ir organometallic complexes and iodide cocatalysts.[1–3] Zeolites [4–9] and Keggin polyoxometallate clusters [10–13] also catalyze the carbonylation of alcohols and ethers (Koch reaction) to form carboxylic acids and esters. Surface alkyl groups, formed by alcohol dissociation, alkene protonation, or alkane deprotonation at acidic sites react with CO to form acylium ions, which then form carboxylic acids and esters, as in the reactions of isobutane on sulfated zirconia [14] and tert-butyl alcohol [5, 7, 8] on acidic ZSM5, MOR, BEA, and Y-zeolites to form pivalic acid. Carbonylation of methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) on acidic zeolites and polyoxometallate clusters occurs concurrently with side reactions (Scheme 1) and significant catalyst deactivation.[4, 6, 9–13]We report herein stable and highly selective (> 99%) halide-free catalysts based on zeolites for DME carbonylation to methyl acetate at low temperatures (423–463K). The reaction rates are much higher than for methanol carbonylation because water may adsorb competitively at CO binding sites and/or cause parallel methanol dehydration
