A method for preparation of alkyl carboxylate compounds, and especially alpha -methylalkyl carboxylate compounds, by reaction of an olefin and a carboxylic acid compound in the presence of a particular type of zeolite catalyst. The zeolites are characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index of 1 to 12. Zeolites ZSM-5 and ZSM-12 are particularly preferred.
