ABSTRACT:
A method of producing methyl formate from methanol and carbon monoxide using an anionic transition metal catalyst including a metal selected from Fe, Ru, Os, W, Mo, Cr, Co, Rh and Ir. The reaction is characterized as a low pressure reaction conducted at a pressure less than 3,000 psia and using concentrated anhydrous methanol solutions and, preferably neat methanol. The catalyst can be a mixed metal catalyst including a second metal selected from Group VIII metals. The reaction is highly selective towards methyl formate and excellent turnover numbers are obtained using these catalysts.
