✦ Synopsis
Several classes of commercially important oxygenates, including acetaldehyde, ethanol, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate and acetic acid as well as C1-C3 alcohol/acetate ester mixtures, may each be selectively generated from synthesis gas through the application of novel classes of rutheniumcontaining bimetallic catalysts particularly those of ruthenium and cobalt (Ru-Co). A particular feature of these versatile catalysts is that all precursors are iodidefree. Products are formed through a combination of carbon monoxide hydrogenation, methanol homologation, methyl acetate homologation and methanol carbonylation reaction sequences.
