Acetyl iodide is an

methyl iodide in the Cativa and Monsanto processes, which are the main industrial processes that generate acetic acid.[2] It is also an intermediate in the production of acetic anhydride from methyl acetate.[3]

Upon treatment with carboxylic acids, acetyl iodide does not exhibit reactions typical of

acyl halides, such as acetyl chloride. Instead, acetyl iodide undergoes iodide/hydroxide exchange with most carboxylic acids:[4]

CH3COI + RCO2H → CH3CO2H + RCOI
