Abstract

Abstract The effect of several catalysts and binary catalyst mixtures is examined in the formation of ethyl acetate from methyl acetate in presence of CO–H2. The most effective catalytic system is a combination of ruthenium-cobalt compounds. The optimum conversion and selectivity to ethyl acetate is achieved with an atomic ratio Co/Ru = 0.4.
