Procedure

Experiment was run in the same manner as in Example 4 except that the catalyst was replaced by 1.0 wt.% palladium-on-silicon-carbide. As the result, it was found that n-butyl formate was produced in a space time yield of 202 g./l.-catalyst.hr and small amounts of di-n-butyl oxalate and n-butanol were by-produced.
