1. Process for making acetic anhydride and/or acetic acid and/or ethylidene diacetate by reacting methyl acetate and/or dimethylether with carbon monoxide or mixtures of carbon monoxide and hydrogen at temperatures of 50 to 300 degrees C and under reaction pressures of 1 to 500 bar in the presence of a catalyst system, which comprises : using, as the catalyst system, rhenium or its compounds ; an organohalogen compound, halogen or hydrogen halide ; further carbonyl-yielding non-noble metals or their compounds, if desired ; a tertiary or quaternary organic nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic or antimony compound, if desired ; and alkali metal acetate or alkali metal compounds which undergo conversion to alkali metal acetate under the reaction conditions, if desired. |
