| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of carboxylic acids and esters, specifically by the reaction of alcohols and carbon monoxide in the presence of a supported catalyst comprising a rhodium component in combination with a metal compound selected from the IB, IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB, VIII, lanthanide and actinide groups of the Periodic Table dispersed on a carrier, the said reaction being conducted in the presence of a halide promoter. The process is also directed to the production of mixtures of organic acids together with organic esters. |
