Abstract
In the preceding chapters we have discussed two approaches to the synthesis of oxygen-containing industrial chemicals from syn gas. The first approach involves the conversion of syn gas to lower olefins followed by conventional technology for further transformations to oxygenated derivatives. The second involves methanol synthesis and subsequent reactions of methanol with carbon monoxide or syn gas. In this chapter we shall discuss a third approach, namely the direct conversion of syn gas to C2 and higher oxygenates.
