HYDROGENATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE TO OLEFINS CATALYZED BY BIS(2,4-PENTADIONATE)COBALT-LITHIUM ALUMINUM HYDRIDE SYSTEM IN LIQUID PHASE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1982.295

Bis(2,4-pentadionate)cobalt-lithium aluminum hydride system in tetrahydrofuran-tetralin is active for a catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide to lower linear hydrocarbons, the distribution of which has a maximum at less than C₆ with 85percent of selectivity for olefins.
