Abstract

Carbonylation of methanol to give acetic acid catalysed by Ru complexes such as trans-Ru(CO)2Cl2(PPh3)2, cis-Ru(CO)2Cl2(PPh3)2 and H2Ru(CO)(PPh3)3 is reported. The highest activity and selectivity were obtained with H2Ru(CO)(PPh3)3 as the catalyst precursor. Hydrogen increases the activity and selectivity of catalysts such as trans-Ru(CO)2Cl2(PPh3)2, cis-Ru(CO)2Cl2(PPh3)2, but has no influence on the activity and selectivity in the case of H2Ru(CO)(PPh3)3.
