A new catalytic process is provided for the synthesis of methyl alcohol by a catalytic reaction where methyl chloride, perchloroethylene, hydrogen chloride, and oxygen are converted to methyl alcohol and hexachloroethylene. The catalytic process is an admixture of an iodine salt with copper chloride enhanced as needed by a chloride of iron, zinc, lead or bismuth or an admixture of an alkali metal bromine salt such as sodium bromide, potassium bromide and cesium bromide substituted for the iodine salt. |
