Efficient noble metal promoted bimetallic cobalt catalysts in the selective synthesis of acetaldehyde dimethyl acetal

Abstract

Herein we report the one-pot cobalt catalysed synthesis of the dimethylacetal of acetaldehyde from synthesis gas and methanol.

Carbonylation of dimethoxymethane: a study on the reactivity of different solid acid catalysts

“…58,59 These tend to be much better soluble in organic solvents and leads to a leaching of the SACs into the liquid phase, making this reaction predominantly homogenously catalysed. 60 This effect becomes stronger the Catalysis Science & Technology Paper higher the temperatures get and was not specifically quantified in this work. In order to suppress the decomposition of the products, a milder temperature around 100 to 110 °C is needed, which allows a sufficiently high reaction rate, without degradation of the catalyst.…”
