ABSTRACT:
This invention produces methyl esters and ethylene glycol esters by reacting carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a homogeneous liquid phase mixture containing a ruthenium carbonyl complex catalyst and an acyl compound. Methyl ester and ethylene glycol ester are the predominant products. These esters are used as precursors in the formation of ethylene glycol, vinyl acylates such as vinyl acetate, ethylene oxide, ethylene carbonate and methanol.
