Catalytic carbonylation of methyl glycolate in the presence of a homogeneous Rh com-plex and an iodide promoter yields actoxy methyl acetate and acetic acid. Carbonylation of glycolic acid under the same conditions gives acetic acid and CO₂, probably from decomposition of the maloinc acid intermediate.
