✦ Synopsis

In presence of the homogenous Rh/Cr/I catalyst system methyl formate can be isomerized to acetic acid under CO-pressure with high conversion rates and excellent selectivity. This catalyst system has never been applied before for this reaction.

## Abstract Iron complexes (tpa)Fe(OTf)~2~ (1) and (bpmen)Fe(OTf)~2~ (2) [tpa=tris‐(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine; bpmen=__N,N′__‐bis‐(2‐pyridylmethyl)‐__N,N′‐__dimethyl‐1,2‐ethylenediamine] were found to catalyze the __in situ__ formation of AcOOH from H~2~O~2~ and AcOH in the course of olefin oxidations.
