    Abstract: A method may include introducing a substituted olefin epoxide stream comprising a substituted olefin epoxide and a carbon monoxide stream comprising carbon monoxide into a carbonylation reactor; and carbonylating at least a portion of the substituted olefin epoxide with the carbon monoxide to generate a product stream comprising a substituted lactone, wherein the step of carbonylating is catalyzed by a catalyst comprising a cationic Lewis acid bound to a support.

    Abstract: A method may include: oxidizing iso-butane with oxygen to produce t-butyl hydroperoxide and t-butyl alcohol; dehydrating at least a portion of the t-butyl alcohol to produce di-tert-butyl ether and isobutylene; epoxidizing at least a portion of the isobutylene with the t-butyl hydroperoxide to produce isobutylene oxide and t-butyl alcohol; and carbonylating at least a portion of the isobutylene oxide with carbon monoxide to produce pivalolactone.
