SUPPORTED CARBONYLATION CATALYST

摘要

The invention relates to a supported catalyst, in which a metal of Group VIII of the periodic system is immobilized on a carbon support, wherein the catalyst comprises halogen atoms, the Group VIII metal and an activated carbon support which support has a more hydrophobic surface than normal activated carbon, and to the use of such a catalyst in a carbonylation reaction of an organic compound, preferably in the carbonylation reaction of butadiene to pentenoic acid, a Nylon-precursor.
