Abstract
A new two-step process scheme for the production of ethylene from synthesis gas is proposed, wherein ethyl esters of aliphatic carboxylic acids are first generated directly from synthesis gas and the appropriate acid, through the use of homogeneous ruthenium catalysts coupled with quaternary phosphonium salt promoters. Pyrolysis of the isolated, intermediate ethyl ester yields ethylene and recyclable acid.
