ResumoCarbon monoxide (CO) hydrogenation in the liquid medium was carried out at 373 K and 423 K with an initial pressure of 5 MPa using a catalyst composed of a metal carbonyl and potassium methoxide. Among the metal carbonyls tested, nickel tetracarbonyl showed a peculiarly high production of methanol, and its performance largely depended on the amount of alkoxide. The role of alkoxide in the reaction was discussed.
