Abstract
A heterogeneous catalytic process for producing hydroxylated hydrocarbons containing from 1-2 carbon atoms which comprises: contacting a synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen with a catalyst consisting essentially of palladium at reaction conditions such that hydroxylated compounds are selectively produced while substantially avoiding the concomitant formation of methane or higher molecular weight hydrocarbons.
