Procedure

0.1 g of the (NEt4)3 [Ru(SnCl3)5 (CH3 CN)]/CuO--ZnO/SiO2, i.e., the complex-supporting catalyst prepared in "Preparation 4 of complex-supporting catalyst" (amount of the supported complex: 4.64×10-6 mol) was packed in a reactor and then treated in the same manner as described in Example A-3. Next, 1 μl (2.47×10-5 mol) of methanol was introduced into the reactor at a temperature of 200° C. by using helium gas as a carrier (flow rate: 25 ml/min). Thus, 0.0001×10-5 mol of acetic acid, 0.0003×10-5 mol of methyl acetate, 0.010×10-5 mol of methyl formate and 0.0001×10-5 mol of methylal were formed.
