As methoxy carbonylation of vinyl acetate (VAM) produces methyl-2-acetoxypropionate, and methyl lactate as intermediates for lactic acid, its kinetic investigations are important to understand the reaction behavior. In this paper a study was conducted on the kinetics of methoxyarbonylation for vinyl acetate in a semi-batch slurry reactor across a temperature range of 363–383K, utilizing [PdCl<sub>2</sub>(PPh<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] catalyst. The effect of catalyst, methanol, vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) concentration and partial pressure of carbon monoxide (CO) on the reactants and products concentration was investigated with respect to time. Catalytic methoxycarbonylation of VAM produces methyl acetoxy propionate which further forms methyl lactate and methyl acetate through consecutive reaction. Methyl acetoxy propionate and methyl lactate thus formed can be converted to lactic acid through hydrolysis. The methoxycarbonylation conditions produce byproducts dimethyl acetate and methyl acetate through parallel reaction. Based on the initial rate data of formations of lactic acid precursors through methoxycarbonylation and consecutive reaction byproducts through parallel reaction, and trend behavior of initial rates with concentrations of reactants, different empirical rate equations were evaluated.
