Abstract
Lower alkanols are prepared from corresponding alkanes by reacting the lower alkane with a metal halide to produce a lower alkyl halide which, in turn, is reacted with magnesium oxide to form the corresponding lower alkanol. A continuous fluidized-bed system is provided for conducting the necessary reactions.
