How to build a catalytic cycle pt 2

Hello everyone! The Monsanto acetic acid process is an industrial process for manufacturing acetic acid via the catalytic carbonylation of methanol. In this process, it involves a rhodium-based catalyst to react with methanol to produce acetic acid as a desired product. This process involves 5 main steps in the catalytic cycle: 1. Reaction between methanol (CH3OH) and hydrogen iodide (HI) to release methanol iodide (CH3-I) and water (H2O) 2. Oxidative addition 3. Migratory insertion or 1,1-insertion 4. Reductive elimination 5. Product formation In product formation, we learn that acetyl iodide (CH3C=O-I) undergoes hydrolysis to form acetic acid as desired product and regenerates hydrogen iodide, the iodide promoter or co-catalyst for the catalytic cycle. Notes: This is a highly selective (over 99%) process and highly efficient as compared to previous methods like the Wacker process. To add, the Monsanto process has been replaced with a modern catalytic process known as the Cativa process which has been reported to be more efficient and release higher yields than its counterpart. These are the main steps in the catalysis we need to take into account when studying about catalytic cycles. Hope this was a great summary and overview of the catalysis behind acetic acid production.
