Abstract
Provided are processes for producing an oxalate by coupling of CO in the presence of a nitrite, wherein two or more reaction zones in series are used, and at least a portion of the oxalate as reaction product is separated between the reaction zones, and/or the nitrite is fed stagewise. The processes described herein can effectively enhance the selectivity to the oxalate and the single-pass conversion of the feedstock.
