HCID 16306Dibutyl Oxalate

Procedure

Experiment was run in the same manner as in Example 2 except that the composition of the gaseous starting materials was replaced by 27.9% by volume of carbon monoxide, 6.2% by volume of hydrogen, 1.7% by volume of n-butyl nitrite and 64.2% by volume of nitrogen. As the result, it was found that n-butyl formate was produced in a space time yield of 109 g./l.-catalyst.hr, and small amounts of di-n-butyl oxalate and n-butanol were by-produced.
