Abstract
A process and catalyst system for selectively producing n-butanol and n-butanal which process comprises introducing into a reaction zone methanol, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and a catalyst system consisting essentially of (a) a cobalt carbonyl, a hydrido cobalt carbonyl or a cobalt-containing material convertible to a cobalt carbonyl or a hydrido cobalt carbonyl, (b) an iodine compound and (c) a tertiary organo Group VA compound and then subjecting the contents of said reaction zone to an elevated temperature and an elevated pressure for a time sufficient to convert methanol to n-butanol and n-butanal.
